Ethiopian legend Kenenisa Bekele returns to Olympics after 12 years

NEW DELHI: Ethiopian running legend Kenenisa Bekele will be making a comeback to the Olympics after 12 years, as he has been named in a 10-member team for the Paris Games.

Bekele's last Olympic appearance was in London in 2012, where he finished fourth in the men's 10,000m. Despite being overlooked for the 2016 and 2020 Olympics, his remarkable second-place finish at the London marathon in April secured him a spot in the Paris Olympics squad.
