ADDIS ABABA (ETH): Former New York Marathon winner Gebre Gebremariam fears the 5000m and 10,000m could be eliminated from the major championships programme, informs AIPS. “First it was the 10,000m that was pushed off from the global stage, then the world cross country championship started to be staged biannually, changing from its original annual format, now it’s the 5000m which is barred from the sphere. One does not necessarily need to be an expert, to guess where this is heading towards; it is the World Championship and the Olympic Games, that we are going to hear the ban of these disciplines next,” he said.
