Including Bekele. Was this some planned thing? They were supposed to challenge Kenya but half the team blew up!

Bekele is a PUSSY, Ethiopians are PUSSIES, Everyone is a PUSSY. Except me.
Itwas the oppressing heat.
If the results and my reading of them are correct, 4 of the Ethiopian DNF's occurred before the finish of lap # 4.
That seems very strange to me, that mighty Ethiopia was running without a scoring Men's Team before 8K at the
World Cross Country.
Maybe KB miscounted laps, maybe he surged just to show he could, maybe he's hurt, or maybe he just faded.
Who knows?

Remember PDF?
Are you the real KnowItAll or are you the one who stole his handle?
Does it excite you to use that kind of language? Do you want to upset your mother, little boy?

The Kenyans sabotaged them. Stomach problems? Hmmm, I wonder who prepared Kenenisa's dinner last night.
With Ethiopia out of the team results maybe the US guys are wishing they went. Top 3 would have been a possibility.
Were the Ethios in position to win it before they dropped out?
They were not in top form so they decided to scrap their races. A 4th place showing would probably seem like a failure to the Ethiopians. They saw they had no chance of catching the Kenyans. By scrapping the race they can merely state they really did not compete. It is almost like not being there at all.
It was a strange day........
Based on history (and present), Ethiopians don't get along with the Eritreans. The reason why Bekele dropped out (and many other Ethiopians) was because they were going to be beaten by someone from Eritrea. In their minds an Ethiopian CANNOT be beaten by an Eritrean. It is very disgraceful. So instead of losing, you are better off dropping out. That is the real reason. If you look back at the Olympics and other races when Bekele raced against someone from Eritrea, he refused to shake their hands afterwards. It is sad, but it is true.
Actually, stealing your username isn't hard. I can even be wejo if I want.
See? Now I'm wejo.
KwnowItAll, you are cool!
Very True.. I agree with an Eritrean,.. never thought that will ever happen.
The sad thing is that the Eritreans will take this as if its they are on top of the world...
It is this same mentality that led them to the war on ethiopia where they lost 70,000 young men and a 1/3rd of there land because they think that they are 'better' than ethiopians.. when in fact they are a smaller and less important counterpart to there larger neighbour.
I believe the Eritreans are well trained and motivated, smart and intelligent people.. but they have zero emotional intelligence...
They are too quick to get excited !! that is often there demise. They suffer from small mans syndrome
