Bekele eyes return in time for worlds


ETHIOPIAN world record holder Kenenisa Bekele plans to return from a year-long calf injury in time to defend his 10,000 meters world crown in July, his manager said on Tuesday.

The multiple Olympic and world gold medalist has not raced since January 2010 because of a ruptured muscle in his right calf but expects to run two or three tune-up races next month before seeking his fifth consecutive 10,000 world title at the August world championships in Daegu, South Korea. "He will run the 10,000 at Daegu, that is for sure unless something happens," Jos Hermens said from the Netherlands.
