Who are the favorites for the ETH marathon team - Tola, Lilesa, and Abshero?


plus Oly and World medalist Kebede and ING NYC champ Gebremariam are probably automatic if they are fit and want to run
maybe 4th place

It looks like he will finish in 2:07:xx. Probably not good enough to make the Ethiopian Olympic Team.


Haile's 2nd slowest time ever.

If Geb wants to run the Olympic marathon he will run.
This is not an objective selection system.

If I had to make a bet, I would bet that you will see him on the line in London in August for the marathon.
This is not like Dan O'Brien no-heighting in the decathlon pole vault.

I don't think Haile will bother racing if this is the best he can do. The guy's ready to retire - does he really want to take a faster runner's spot?

I doubt it - this was a well-beaten Haile - he died at the end. And this was his best marathon in years. And there are some world class guys 3+ minutes faster than him.

I would be shocked if he makes the marathon team. This was not competitive.
