Sunday Update & Monday Preview

Sunday

Men's 1,500 Semi-Final M - Backsliding

Both of the guys did not make it to the finals. This has to be a dig disappointment. Mulugeta Wendimu was in the finals four years ago and this is a step back. The expansion program is a failure so far.

Women's 3,000 M Finals - Solid Performance

Zemzem stood her ground and finished seventh. This is a good result that came about as a result of an individual's extraordinary effort.


Monday

Men's 3,000 M Final

If I had to, I would bet on a Kenya sweep. Yakob Jarso has his work cutout. He has to run the race of his life to be in the top six. The following are the favorites.

1. Brimin Kipruto (KEN)
2. Ezekiel Kemboi (KEN)
3. Richard Mateelong (KEN)
4. Bouabdellah Tahri (FRA)
5. Mustafa Mohamed (SEW)
6. Ruben Ramolefi (RSA)

Good luck to Yakob go out and have a great outing like Zemzem.
