Everybody is complaining in the country especially fans beacuse Freyweni Hailu is not in the 1500. She was told to drop one distance so to spite them her husband shortly posted she is droping the 10000m and not the 1500😂😂
She doesnt really want to drop any of them together with her husband they are insisting that she is ready for all three but the Federation insists she drops one. I heard she is trying to piss the ethiopian officials because they are forcing her to drop one distance so she is saying she is dropping the 10k to get on their nerves beacuse she knows the officials know she is Ethiopia's best chance at 10k
This seems highly plausible. Seems like in petty fashion she wants to keep Hailu out of the Games, even though the best thing for her and Ethiopia would be to do the 5/10 double. The dropoff of her to Hailu is far smaller than her to whoever comes in at 10,000.
You are 100% correct. Tsegay and her husband (who at 5’4 tall just exudes small man syndrome) have become bitter little people who’s egos have been allowed to run rampant. logic says the 1500m is Tsegays weakest event and within which she has the least chance of medalling (on the current form of her competitors that is) In the 10000m she has a clear pathway to at very least the silver medal. I believe that personal spleen is championing common sense. It’s pathetic really. Hailus only crime is departing Tsegays training group in favour of another. Apparently such things are unacceptable to Tsegay and must be punished in perpetuity….
The only problem is after hailu left their training group her husband is bitter. And the country is complaining to the federation for hailu to be in the 1500. Tsegay is being pressured to drop one event. To piss off the authorities for forcing her and also to not give hailu that 1500m spot her husband said she is dropping the 10k
But with the pressure eventually she will have to drop the 1500m am sure. Even the post her husband made about dropping the 10k he deleted it
Irregardless of the drama of selection, hopefully we can finally see a prime Tsegey and Kipyegon go head to head in 1500...
And personally it's not a bad idea she withdraw from the 10000 - we all know how Tsegey and Chebet runs, one likes to push the pace (which I appreciate) while the other never lead (same for Kipyegon in the 5000). I would like to think Tsegey has equal chance for gold in 5000 and 10000.
