Its important that these rivalaries push the athletes to do their best. Meseret and Tirunesh have pushed eachother to break records. I especially loved the reference to what type of fans that Tirunesh and Meseret have. It is very clear that Meseret is very very popular...because of her outgoing personality. It is also clear that Tirunesh is the superior athlete. Tirunesh's golds in cross country, world championships and now on the biggest stage cannot be matched.

Indeed we are fortunate to have the two most outstanding runners of our time running for Ethiopia. The 5000 run is an individual competition and all Ethiopians are saying is may the best and the fastest of them WIN! Please stop writing trash about fan bases or city slicker hippies versus nature loving country people. We are glad both are Ethiopians and we are happy and proud of their achievements so far. May the best and the fastest of them win and may Ethiopia sweep the gold and silver again!

To me the way this is written is not right. Please let us not say city , rural this that shit. Let us become one at least in sports. Do not bring that division stuff. Let us embrase them and make them some good for Ethiopia. A,t the end of the day we all are Ethiopians. Congratulation for all. Love and Respect These girls are awesome Ethiopians.
