	El eritreo Zersenay Tadesse se inscribe y sera favorito \| terra
		Tadesse, de 24 años, consiguió la medalla de bronce en los 10.000 metros de los Juegos Olímpicos de Atenas 2004, en cuya distancia su mejor tiempo es de 26.37, marca inferior al récord de la prueba vallecana que consiguió Eluid Kipchoge el año pasado con 27.34.
		Esta sesión comenzará a las 11 horas en la zona de la Chopera del Parque del Retiro, y contará, además, con un equipo de preparadores que atenderán las dudas de los corredores que quieran entrenarse a conciencia para la San Silvestre Vallecana.
		Tadesse es el primer invitado de excepción a estos entrenamientos gratuitos, y aportará su experiencia y consejos a quienes se acerquen al Parque del Retiro.

	Cool Running :: Tadesse benefits from better fit
		Tadesse grew up in the high-altitude village of Adi Bana in southern Eritrea and spent hardly any time in the capital, Asmara, before going to the 2002 world championships and moving to Spain a month later.
		Tadesse, who is liked wherever he goes for his easy manner and his modesty, returned last month to Eritrea for the national championships and the chance to see his family.
		Tadesse said he was working towards the April 1-2 world cross-country championships in Fukuoka, Japan, and the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where he has not yet decided which event to run.

		Bekele once again proved to be out-of-reach but Tadesse, who has just turned 23, ran an astute race to elevate himself to being the best of the rest of the distance-running fraternity.
		More by luck than judgement, Tadesse had a relatively trouble-free childhood, living 200km from the Eritrean capital Asmara in an area that was one of the least affected by fighting.
		Tadesse may soon be accompanied in the headlines by other Eritreans.

		The race was billed as a clash between Tadesse and Ukraine’s Sergiy Lebid but after a cautious start the reigning Olympic 10,000m bronze medallist proved to be the best by far and by halfway it became clear that barring disaster Tadesse would be the eventual winner.
		When Tadesse stepped up the pace, the Eritrean was joined for two kilometres (3rd-5th) by Kenya’s 18-year-old Edwin Soi but he couldn’t manage to keep in touch with Tadesse for any further.

	Edmonton prepares to welcome a road running legend in the making (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Monte-Carlo — A global championship medallist is always a high profile draw for any competition, and Eritrea’s Zersenay Tadesse, Olympic 10,000m bronze medallist, is certainly one, if not ‘the’ principal entrant for the 14th IAAF World Half Championships in Edmonton, Canada, on Saturday 1 October 2005.
		Tadesse also took the silver medal in the long race at last winter’s World Cross Country Championships and was 6th over 10,000m in Helsinki, but despite his competitiveness at major championships, his PBs of 13:05.57 and 27:04.70 are lowly by comparison to these men.
		Cycling was the young Tadesse’s first love, and he insists that his time riding a bicycle has given him the endurance base from which his dramatic rise to the top of the world’s elite is based.
