El G and Bekele: duel in the mud?

[Ryan]

It sounds like it's a possibility. A French newspaper is reporting that El Guerrouj is considering running the short course at the World Cross-Country Championships, where he would likely be running against Bekele.

Hicham El Guerrouj and Kenenisa Bekele have now met in two epic 5000m track races, firstly at the 2003 World Championships in Paris and more recently at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. But we have recently been offered the prospect of a 4000m rematch through the mud of a French winter.
