I understand that Kitata and Desisa have not finished and were dropped by the leading pack very easily.
Everybody would have rather see Bekele than these two guys. He could not have done worse. He could have done much better.
What is your problem at understanding that? Ethiopia failed miserably at the marathon.
There were trials, and thats that, they earned their right to represent ethiopia. They had bad days.... Are you a 2:04 marathoner?

These trials and the results were a FAILURE.
They should not have made trials.
Your trials for 5k also turned a bad choice..

I am just pissed like everyone else that we saw some tomato cans dropping out of the race instead of seeing the goat Bekele who was living to take part in this race.
This is hard to understand for you?

I don't care about them.
They are non entities as they were in that race. Canon fodder.
They wanted to race in the olympics? they humiliated themselves and brought nothing for thei country. Even if Bekele was somewhat a risk due to his age and health, he could not have done worse than these non entities.

They are proud of them dropping early after being pushed to the back pof the race?

That's cute.

Yes they are... anyone that wears the kit of ethiopia and represents at a world championship is the pride of ethiopia. EVEN IF THEY DO NOT PRODUCE THE BEST RESULTS
I bet you are a great person

Then no need to make trials, just pick 3 randoms guys in Addis ababa and that's it.
You would have had the same results.

You are stubborn.
The ethiopian team was a failure and a complete mispick. The results proved it.
We have been robbed of the showdown we were all waiting for , and for nothing.

Bekele is too erratic in the marathon. There is a 10% chance he might run 2:08 but there is a 90% chance he he might drop out after 15km. I would never pick Bekele.
+1
The Ethiopian marathoners did what their idol does best - drop out!

Of course these guys wanted to perform well for their country. So it’s not on the athletes as much as the process. They obviously weren’t prepared for the heat. If anything whomever oversees the coaching of these athletes should be the ones to be criticized. Rupp came with like ten frozen hats. Unless your the class of the field like Kipchoge then you need to do a great job with the little things in conditions like that. Who’s coaching the Ethiopians?
I can't believe people think Ethiopia (or any other country) could've selected better than Shura Kitata and Leslisa Desisa. Do you hear yourselves?
Ethiopia bungled it's 5K selection, I'll concede. But the marathon team was fantastic on paper. Only the conditions got the better of them.
Can all these fake Kenyans and Ethiopians stfu

I think Kitata and Desisa were solid picks but i think they could of used discretion for the 3rd (Bekele)
In the end they put Wale and Ghirma in the Steeplechase so obviously the trials weren't set in stone. No idea why they didn't put obvious better contenders in the 5,000m (Hagos?? or allowing Barega to double)
Well Kenya picked Tim even though he got fourth. They picked him because he was the best 1500 meter Runner and he proved it.
Of course Bekele is old but it was only a couple years ago that he got the second fastest marathon time of all time. So I'm sure at this point since it's all over they probably regret not picking him.
