On Saturday afternoon, Haile Gebrselassie had fluid drained from his knee. While he noted to that the knee felt better, he twittered out, ” finishing NY marathon today will be tough..I have some inflamation in my right knee.’
Haile Gebrselassie noted in his twitter on Sunday his concern about finishing. This does change the complexion of the race. I will be curious to see if he starts the race….
