Brown's biggest win was his fourth place at the Sydney Olympics
|
British number one Jon Brown failed in his bid to post the qualifying time for next year's Olympics in the Fukuoka marathon on Sunday.
The 32-year-old clocked two hours 18 minutes and 55 seconds - the Olympic standard is set at 2:15:00.
Brown, who has suffered from a long-term groin injury, hoped to qualify in Japan because he did not want to run another marathon before Athens.
Japan's Tomoaki Kunichika took the Fukuoka title in 2:07:52.
