ATH: Gebrselassie doubtful for the Olympics
Ethiopian legend HAILE GEBRSELASSIE might have to miss the Athens Olympics due to injury.
GEBRSELASSIE -- the 1996 and 2000 Olympic 10,000 metres gold medalist -- picked up
a foot injury while training in Ethiopia last month.
The injury was aggravated when running over 5,000m at the London Super Grand Prix meeting
two weeks ago.
A spokesman for the champion says GEBRSELASSIE isn't one hundred per cent and may have
to withdraw from Friday's 10,000m.
He says a decision will be made on Wednesday.
