Merga, Gebremeskal, and Kuma. Guess they think they can't beat Mo in the shorter distance.

You a hit at parties, bro?
You're right, that WAS fun
Or maybe they think they can't beat Hagos and Yenew. Considering Dejen tried and failed, they're right.

Actually D-Geb opened multiple cans of whoop a$$ on G-Wet and ALAM last year.

Welcome to this year, joker.
D-Geb had some remarkable improvement midway through track season.
He 3-peated at the Carlsbad (road) 5k earlier in the year, got beat by Ben True et al with a 13:3x and then somehow pulled off that 26:51 front running 1 month+ later.
I think d-geb could still whoop their a$$-is, hopefully there will be some fast races post-worlds where they face off.
On and off the juice?
26:51 and 12:53 are about equal. Ethiopia has a better chance if they split their big guns into different events.
Maybe they decided early on that DG would be moving up. That would explain his poor performances in the 3000 and 5000. It also might explain the KB screwjob.
Just for the record, G-Wet was only 17 on his rebut season, still managed to run 12:48
They'll all be running the marathon in two years time.
Seems Ethiopia are growing them in clusters of three now, kinda like the old USSR used to grow ice hockey players in clusters of five... ;-P
BTW - Does anyone here know what's up with Sihine from the K Bekele-Sihine-T Bekele cluster that has been retired from national representation - is he too moving up to the Marathon?
well really it was k bekele, sihine, and geb gebre for like 8 years
This thread is wrong.
Gebremeskel does not have a qualifier in the 5000m so he can't run it. He's not on the team at 5000m.
Ethiopian team is Yenew Alamirew, Hagos Gebrehiwot, Muktar Edris.

How is this wrong? Look at the three Ethiopians who ran the 5,000 in Daegu, then look at the 3 Ethiopians running the 10,000 in Moscow. They're the same people
