Gebrselassie targets third gold medal

Gavin Worley, Athens

The man affectionately known as the ‘Little Emperor’ finished second behind compatriot Kenenisa Bekele at the 2003 World Championships in Paris and was gracious in defeat.

Gebrselassie would dearly love to add another Olympic gold to his vast medal collection, but he is a true patriot who would also celebrate if one of his team-mates clinched victory in the Greek capital.
