Marks listed by world athletics that seem dubious or confusing.

Reading 0:00
15s threshold

I noticed that on the world athletics website Japanese sprinter Koji Ito is listed as having run a 2:14 marathon in 1996. I would assume that this couldn't possibly be true no one has that kind of range particularly with him having otherwise never competed in distances over 400m. However I have no idea what the error might be. There doesn't seem to be any elite marathon runner by the same name he could be confused with and I can't find any information about there being an Ageo Marathon which is where he supposedly did this. Maybe someone is just making things up?
