The rivalry is really heating up again as Ethiopia's Kenenisa Bekele has been boasting to the press over the past two weeks his intentions of bettering Kenyan Daniel Komen's 3000m indoor world record before seasons end.
An offended Komen blasted back with a threat to reward Bekele with 5 acres of prime land in Eldoret should he take the record down, and added, “For me, I just attempted it while a young man, without telling the world. I prepared myself and broke it, and I will congratulate my friend Bekele if he does it.”
Whoa. Intense words. Let's just hope nobody gets hurt in this fracas.
