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.

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.

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.
