Bekele to chase more World Cross Country gold in Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Scotland – Ethiopia's Kenenisa Bekele, his honeymoon over and back in full training, has confirmed he will compete at this year's 36th IAAF World Cross Country Championships, Edinburgh, Scotland (30 March).

Bekele will bid to win his sixth World Cross Country Championships long course title in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh. He also has five individual titles from the short course race which had its last outing on the World Cross Country programme in 2006.

The Olympic and World 10,000 metres champion bounced back from an unexpected defeat at last year’s World Cross in Mombasa to win a third successive World 10,000m track gold medal in Osaka
