Who?
very unusual to come back from a long injury - almost no one does it. 90% chance he's done, solinsky is done, kgoucher is done, kbekele is done.
he said that he was injured at some point after the 3:38. I didn't get the sense that it was necessarily a season-ender, though. Maybe we'll see him in Europe in August. Sometimes he runs a 1k in Europe around that time.

Bekele ran a 2:05 earlier this year...
What about all this "I'm back" stuff after that 3:38?
That auto-correct, he was trying to type "I'm broke."

yeah, no question is somewhere around 15th best marathoner in the world.
is that being 'back?' for possibly the best distance runner ever to walk the planet?

In his first ever marathon, which he won, and considering he's 32... yes.

Um... yes. It is.

Yes, for sure it means Bekele is back. The Paris course is not as fast as a course like London or Rotterdam, so for him to run that time (and win) in his first marathon, that is is an A+.
