Mezgebu’s chance to break a bronze-medal streak Sydney bronze-medallist Assefa Mezgebu has long been considered the number two man behind Haile Gebrselassie on Ethiopia’s track scene, but he has never gone higher than a bronze at a senior global track championships.

But, of course, he took it all wonderfully in his stride. - [6.8.2001]
