An exciting battle looms between world/Olympic champion Meseret Defar and world record holder Tirunesh Dibaba in 5km. Dibaba plans for double in 5km & 10km.
Reigning world champion Maryam Yusuf Jamal of Bahrain will face high-calibre opposition in the Women's 1500m. Gelete Burka, who won bronze at this year's world indoors, will be Jamal's biggest threat. Jamal (previously Zenebech Tola) is an Oromo athlete who fled Ethiopia due to fear of political persecution.
