Gebrselassie vows to break world marathon record

HAILE GEBRSELASSIE is confident he will eventually break the world marathon record despite failing to beat Paul Tergat’s mark while winning in Berlin on Sunday.

Flora London Marathon race director David Bedford has tipped Gebrselassie to break the record when competing in England’s capital next year.

Gebrselassie is already contracted to contest the world’s top event which — after two appearances in 2003 and last April — he has still to win finishing third and ninth.
