In an interview with the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet he states the following:
“It would have been fun to win Olympic gold in the 1500 meters, 5000 meters, 10,000 meters, 3000 meters steeplechase and marathon. But time is an issue. To have time for everything. And if you want to choose something, you have to opt out of something else, he smiles.”
Could he potentially win every distance event in the Olympics?
