You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: daydreamer Subject: RE: Tadese and the Marathon - I don't get it! Body: "Each one might focus on what is his best distance event, and tadesse best event isnīt and will not be the marathon." People like ZT and Ritz are perfect examples of why I wish there was a distance in the Olympics that was somewhere between the 10K and Marathon. A marathon is over 4x the distance of the 10K. That seems like a big gap to me. Looking at the track events (including Steeple) the distances are roughly doubled as you move up. It's not surprising that there are some athletes who are best suited to a distance that lies halfway between the 10k and Marathon. I wish the Olympics had a half marathon or maybe a really long (like 20K) XC race. That would be cool. Maybe ZT keeps trying the Marathon b/c he knows he can't win a gold in the 10K as long as Bekele is still around, so the marathon is the next best option for him.
