I did not cheer for Kenenisa
It had to be one of the best 10k races ever. With two laps to go, Kenenisa looked as if he was going to lose his dominance of the 10k event as Seleshi Sihene and the Kenyan, Matharthi were starting to leave him behind. Kenenisa kept his cool and overtook the Kenyan as Seleshi started a desperate kick for the gold. I found myself cheering for the underdog, Seleshi who many times had come second to Kenenisa. With 100 meters to go, Kenenisa showed an amazing change of speed to chase down Seleshi and overtake him. As soon I noticed how fast Kenenisa's legs started to turn (wow), I knew he would overtake Seleshi. I really hope the Ethiopian athletics federation promotes Seleshi to the starting line up of the 5k. He deserves another chance for a gold medal.

Poor Sileshi. He looked liked he started jogging once KB passed him ... or maybe KB was running that fast? (Comment this)
Looks like he sort of settled for 2nd place once he saw KB run past him and he checked the Kenyan was not close behind. I do feel sorry for him though, he was so excited thinking he was going to snatch the gold, didn't even wanna shake KB in the end... he would have loved to take a sucker punch at him am sure :) (Comment this)
