Eurosport are a bit slow on the uptake. BBC had the story ten days ago:

Edit: just seen that the date of the Eurosport article is the same as the BBC.

Hehe :wink:

When I first saw it, I just thought it was quite a 'nothing' news story. I can't remember El G saying that he would compete indoors - plus, how many 'withdrawals' has El G made now (numerous WXC, the whole of last season, etc)?

Like Webb, you can never have too many El Guerrouj threads!

Where:s MJD? We:re in need of a new Webb thread!

I'd be glad to start a new Gabe thread, if that will help any.

Obviously, the question is how much does El G have to prove to himself? And, how much effort are a few more paydays worth? How many more third cousins should he buy new houses for?

In the event that El G does come back in 2006, will it be a limited, Michael Johnson/Kelly Holmes farewell tour?

Bekele, Geb, Tergat, Maurice, Gail, etc. What do any of them have to prove?

But dontcha wanna see what El G can do in the 5 or 10? Maybe he and Bekele can clash over some 3's!

BEKELE WONT RUN IDOORS- 4:01?

BEKELE WONT RUN IDOORS- 4:01?

Maybe he's just hustling Lagat and everyone else!

Or maybe he just got straight up spanked by a real miler!

Hold on, hold on. Let this one play itself out. Let the little Ethiopian get his miling legs up under him. He's got a learning curve for training, racing, warming up, etc. By the summer, he's a sub-3:50 guy easily.
