Why World Athletics posted a picture of the Ethiopian team competing in Budapest and Tamirat Tola was in that picture? Wasn't he supposed to run the Sydney marathon?
I think he'll be in Budapest since he's the defending champion and I saw a video of him with the team in Addis. I would be surprised if EAF didn't persuade him to race if he didn't want to as he's a big medal contender and this way they can have 4. Also got the hint Milkesa Mengesha might be on the team? Maybe Leul or Chalu are out, not sure

WA now have a preview with Tola in and it seems Leul out?
The worlds are happening in Just very few days and still we don't know whether Tola is running the marathon or not.
Budapest or Sydney? Still no news?
I think Tamirat almost certainly will run Worlds, no less chance than anyone else expected there in my mind now. Sydney; we'll have to see if he does both I suppose. Looks like Milkesa Mengesha may have replaced Chalu Deso (Deso Gelmisa) because I think both are part of the Elite Running Team and they Tweeted this only mentioning Milkesa:
