Yep. First 3 across the line go to the Olympics for the 10,000m. I guess that means Kenenisa Bekele is concentrating on the 5000m only as he's not on the start list I don't think.

I find this hard to believe. If Bekele is in proper shape he will not be overlooked. I cant imagine he is focusing solely on the 5000m.

Actually it might be just the top 2 who get picked and the 3rd slot left vacant for Bekele. That's what I seemed to find when I did a google search there now.

i dunno what time it's on at

it might be a long shot as i believe there's 13 ethiopians in the race

hope he does it anyhow

The years are cruel eh. Just couldn't go with the pace in the last 450 or so. Should've taken out Irish citizenship a few years ago.

he ran a great race for an old guy

just eaten up on the last lap

i couldn't figure out his placing among the ethiopians on the romanian stream

[Itziger]

4th or 5th I think. Hard to say alright. Jeez, the Dutch tv coverage was rough. Still though, an added bonus to see it at all.
