Interesting question, I would want to beat my own world record. Especially considering the controversy overshadowing this Olympics. That being said, what is really right for Gebrselassie? Personally, the selfish me wants to see him run the Olympics. The "put myself in his shoes" me would wonder if all the training, time, sacrifice and effort is worth the pressure of trying to entertain selfish brats like myself. Has the Ethiopian Athletics Federation paid him or otherwise supplemented his career in some way that they have the right to expect him to enter certain races? I know there are projects that I would rather be working on but I'm paid to do what my boss wants.
