Bekele 4th In Edinburgh

That's not even Kenenisa in the photo, it's Tariku.

Why the hell do they have a picture of Tariku Bekele at the top of that article about Kenenisa?

am I wrong or is that a picture of KB's little brother with that article?

I think that might be T. Bekele's photo in the article.

Drops in the heat, fourth in the cold- is Bekele the world's fastest wimp?

Looks like KB to me? Perhaps they quickly realized their mistake and corrected it already.

Perhaps this loss will motivate Bekele to train for World XC! Cross your fingers! Anyone know how Lemoncello or Farah raced?

Farah was apparently defeated in the short race by the up-and-coming Ricky Stevenson. He's going through a bad patch at the moment it seems...

1/10

Mo Farah was beaten into 3rd.The 4K race was won by an emerging Englishman who was so dominant Farah could not match him in any sort of way.As for the 9K race,they kenyans used team tactics from the gun.They charged to the front,kept on exchanging leads and surges and then two took off at halfway taking Bekele by surprise.Ebuya won looking superb but the most impressive one was Titus Mbishae (19 yr old) who did most of the front running and kept throwing in surges.

That's def Kenenisa's picture (they realized their mistake and changed it?)

Anyway, holy cow 4th place!!

Yo, Kenenisaw ... we still believe in you, man! Do what you gotta do. Will cheer on your next race.

Congrats to Ebuya and others.

Also by Steve Vernon an underated athlete who was 2nd in the same race last year and once finished top 50 in the World Cross

Mo was still 2nd in the European XC so not that bad a patch!

was Andy Vernon running?

Farah went off way too fast and had a 30m lead after half a mile. Paid for it in the end. Maybe worried about Baddeley and tried to run the finish out of them. Great runs by Stevenson and Vernon, long way clear of the others.

KB is no longer invincible. He will be crushed by the kenyans

on the track this year. And Buster will be back.

Surprising, but what a testimonial to his greatness and dominance that the headline and story aren't about the winner or even the race, but rather that Kenenisa DIDN'T win... Just saying.

Where the hell was ritz? He would have beaten the great one.
