Kenenisa Bekele has been racing into shape this season. ” I was running poorly,” Kenenisa Bekele told RBR at Pre only a few weeks ago. There, he ran a 13:01.48. Five days later, in ExxonMobil Bislett, Kenenisa ran a second faster, 13:00.54.

But Kenenisa running in the 2012 AVIVA Trials 10,000 meters, an open race, showed that he is racing into shape, by sprinting, per observers, 12.54 for the last 100 meters in the race, to take a very close race over his brother, Tariku Bekele, and Gebre Gebremariam.

The Ethiopian selectors had noted that Kenenisa Bekele, the World record holder at 10,000 meters and 5,000 meters, had to show his fitness. The world knows he  is back.

As one top coach noted, when telling us about Kenenisa’s race,”Well, Bekele is back!”

Well said.

Also long jump record holder Loúis Tsátoumas is still suffering from pains in his waist and the chances for participating in Helsinki are very slim. The pains forced Tsátoumas to take only two jumps in the Greek championships final, depriving him thus of the national title for the first time since his first victory in 2003 (he did not compete in 2009).
