Good race....but not as easy for the Ethiopians as it may appear from the result.
Mosop was not far from the top two and would have caught Sihine in another couple of metres.... I don't think he believed he was there at the end...he gave Bekele a few metres at the bell.... he should have stayed closer.
I think Kenny B may struggle with the speed of Songok in the 5k... He looked almost hman today.
Bekele said in an flash-interview after the race the will NOT run the 5k but we'll see how Dr.Kostre decides.
Everyone wants to see kenenisa run the 5k..
On the race i thought the ethiopian team wasted a lot of energy surging to see if everyone was fit..
They tested the fellow east africans one 2 or 3 occations.
Those efforts hurt dinkessa the most.
Seleshi and Abebe were talking to eachother a lot.
I felt bad for Abebe dying at the end. I think the guy should have run his own race from 5k. Now for sure Ethiopias 5000 team will be
T Bekele
Shine
D Brihanu.
Brihanu has to set them up. t bekele has a chance if its slow.. Songook is for sure the favorite. Too bad kenenisa gave up..but i wouldnt ask him to empty his pocket book.
Dunes - you da man ...
I surely hope Bekele would do the 5k. This will light up the stadium and have us talking for long.
Bekele, Kipchoge and Songok would set the track and stadium ablaze.
