OSLO, July 5: Haile Gebrselassie recaptured his world 10,000 metre record in emphatic fashion at the Bislett Games here on Friday and then vowed there was still more to come.

The 24-year-old Olympic champion, who admitted before the race that winning back the record he lost last year to Moroccan Salah Hissou was more important than winning at the world championships in Athens next month, clocked 26 mins 31.32 secs.

Mohammed Mourhit (Belgium) , finished a distant second in 26:31.32. America’s new sprint queen Marion Jones won the 100m here, beating out fellow American Gail Devers. Running in perfect weather conditions, Johnson won the 110m hurdles.

Freeman, the Olympic silver medalist, won the women’s 400 in 49.39. In the weakened 100m race Frankie Fredericks beat his training partner Linford Christie in an unimpressive 10.11. Canada’s Donovan Bailey, the 100m Olympic champion and world record-holder, switched to the 200 and won in a wind-aided 20.14. Geir Moen of Norway finished runner-up in 20.23.

Trump also spoke warmly of his relationship with PM Modi.
