Caden Shields confident about midnight Olympic marathon

Fifty four years ago at the Tokyo Olympics the marathon started at midnight and organisers of the world athletic champs in Doha are following suit for this year's event. The race is being run at midnight in effort to try and reduce the impact of the heat and humidity on the athletes and New Zealand's Caden Shields will be among those on the start line. Despite the midnight start Caden Shields told RNZ Sport's Stephen Hewson he doesn't believe athletes - or the few spectators who turn out - will be falling asleep on the start line.
