It means roughly "At the same time he announced that he will start again at the 2010 Berlin Marathon."

"At the same time, he announced that once again he will start [his competitive year] 2010 with the Berlin marathon."

So I guess he's saying Berlin would be his first race of the year.

"Gleichzeitig kündigte er an, dass er 2010 erneut beim Berlin-Marathon starten wird" - "at the same time he announced that he will run/start at the Berlin Marathon again in 2010."

Also, Teg doesn't run the 10K.

There's some play in the translation. I think the bigger problem is whether they translated correctly from whatever language Geb was speaking-English? So that's two parties speaking a language neither are fluent in...

"Gleichzeitig kündigte er an, dass er 2010 erneut beim Berlin-Marathon starten wird."

At the same time announced he, that he 2010 reopen by Berlin Marathon starting would. (=At the same time he announced that he would reopen 2010 by starting/racing the Berlin Marathon.)

that just means that he would again (erneut, like renewed) be running the Berlin Marathon in 2010. I'll look at the article, but there are no doubt better German translators here than me.

Running Legend Meets and Greets:

Haile Gebrselassie announces that he will run the Berlin Marathon.

Blah blah blah not about Geb ... blah blah blah irrelevant ...

At the same time, he announced that he will start again at the Berlin Marathon in 2010.

to back that translation of erneut as again:

It looks like some people who work for this news website and are running in the 38th "Rennsteiglauf" got something signed by Haile, who will run Berlin in 2010.

This is just a guess but in the middle part where it talks about the berlin marathon, it's just comparing the berlin marathon with the rennsteiglauf, saying they're both kings of land/city runs respectively.

was?

This is the correct translation.

Of course, we don't know what Gebrselassie really told the news paper. Odds are he said something like: "I would like to enter the Berlin marathon again." or "It is a possibility that I will enter the Berlin Marathon again."

Take it for what it's worth, Sammy Kosgei who set a 25k WR today in Berlin said: "My next goal is the Berlin Marathon this fall where I hope to beat Haile Gebrselassie."

"Anyone Speak German?"

Yes. Lots of people. The Germans, for example, speak German. So do Austria, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Belgium, post-colonial parts of Africa and South America, and the Amish.

Oh wait, you mean something deictic, like "Anyone here speak German," or "Can anyone translate German article on Geb."

Wow, what an effing prick.

German Fernandez?

I'm a qualified German translator. It's my job.

I'd translate this as:

"At the same time, he stated that he would be on the start line again at the 2010 Berlin Marathon."

It doesn't mean he will open his season.

Hehehee, brojos linking a leftist newspaper... *g*

The reporter somehow squeezed an endorsement-type of greeting for that ultramarathon out of Haile -- by visiting his hotel compound it seems.

The text is /very/ weird.
