Aman no indoors
ADDIS ABABA (ETH): Reigning 800 m World champion Mohammed Aman of Ethiopia is not planning to run indoors, but concentrate on the summer. His main aim would be to try to defend his title from Moscow 2013. As the gold medalist he has the IAAF Wild Card and would not need to go through tough qualification system. More, Ethiopia in case of fulfilling the standard 1:46.00 would be able to send to the competition three more runners. The same goes for Botswana where Nijel Amos has the Wild Card based on his Diamond League win. But there is no realistic possibility as the next best runner in the country in 2014 is not having sub 1:50 time.
