unreal. if bekele can win the long course race he will be a 5-time double gold medalist at world cross.

i like this pre-race quote from craig mottram:

"The problem I have with the Ethiopians and the Kenyans in races like this is that there is a lot of them and there's only one of me, so it's going to be very tough, but I'm ready to give it a go."

He will remain as the only 5-time double champ as the IAAF reverts back to the one race format--which I think is a good move--4k is not cross country
