He decided to not run the 10000 after all.

Geb is one of my running heros but while I would have admired his efforts in returning to track, I was dreaming of a great come back but deep down I was in doubt about him puting on a decent performance. His team mate Kenenisa Bekele is having a great season and with the depth in the Ethopian side I am sure he was facing stiff competition at home without even lining up against the other international competitors. I have not even read any race report for him for the 10K and he did not seem to have ran in the cross country circuit.
I truly miss seeing him on the track. |

| I guess this means Haile has already run his last Olympic race....unless he now changes his mind on the marathon. |
"Talent" is a cop-out for not wanting to try harder.
marathon - 2:28
HM - 1:09:53
10K - 30:57
5K - 15:18 (2nd half of above 10K) |
