| The main photo above shows Meselech (415) just behind her compatriot
Meseret Defar during the final of the women's 5,000m at the 2007 World
Championships in Osaka. Melkamu, who would go on to finish in 6th place
in a time of 15.01.42, is pictured alongside Great Britain's Jo Pavey at
the bell in the left hand photo. Defar won the gold medal, Vivian
Cheruiyot (640, partly obscured by Defar) the silver and Priscah
Jepleting Cherono (directly behind Defar) the bronze. |
