 | | The Thales FBK-Games in Hengelo on Monday 31 May 2004, the traditional first stop of the IAAF Grand Prix in Europe each year, has as usual lined up the cream of Ethiopian men’s distance running. |
 | | Bekele who so famously made his debut at 10,000m in Hengelo last year, out-sprinting Gebrselassie in the process, will run the 5000m this year, a distance at which his compatriot also holds the World record, thanks to his 12:39.36 clocking in Helsinki’s Olympic stadium on 13 June 1998. |
 | | The 5000m takes place before the 10,000m on the programme in Hengelo, and it will be interesting to study the competitive reaction of Gebrselassie should the 21 year-old World 10,000m champion who set the World Indoor 5000m record this winter, come close to his mark. |
