Mekonnen is ready to make the 5000 metres count
The drive Hailu Mekonnen has for the 5000-metre event was on display when the Ethiopian fell during the world championship qualifier Monday, but won his heat. Mekonnen, who holds the fastest 2001 time in the field for the final, moved back to the event after contesting the 1500 metres repeatedly, including at the Sydney Olympics, where he missed qualifying for the final. - [10.8.2001]
