Bekele and Dibaba set for double assault

ADDIS ABABA: Kenenisa Bekele, who hinted that he would not attempt a double gold Beijing Olympics assault, was on Monday named in both the 5,000m and 10,000m in Ethiopia's China-bound squad.

Tirunesh Dibaba was also named in the 5,000m and 10,000m events in the women's lineup.

However, despite the planning, it is still not certain that they will feature in both events as recent history has shown.
