Tadese Hopes To Bounce Back At Great South Run

Half marathon world-record holder not happy with his recent performance.

The half marathon world-record holder from Eritrea, who was aiming for his fifth consecutive world half marathon championship, finished a surprising second to Kenya’s William Kiprop.
