Kenenisa Bekele, the second-fastest marathon runner of all time, has broken his silence after being snubbed by Ethiopia’s Olympic Committee.
The 39-year-old hinted that his career was far from over.
“Unfortunately, I am not selected for the Olympic Games in Tokyo. At the moment, I’m working hard and training well. There is still some unfinished business,” he posted on Instagram.
Kenenisa, who already has three Olympic gold medals to his name, was not shortlisted to represent Ethiopia at the Tokyo Games after he boycotted trials in May.
He has previously accused some people of working against his selection and had said he was unhappy about the timing of the trials.
Ethiopia’s marathon team will be led by Shura Kitata, who outran Kenya’s Eluid Kipchoge to win the London Marathon in October 2020.
