Ezekiel Jafari Ngimba (TAN)- Gold Medalist

On the conditions and the course:

“The stadium is quite good, and so is the track.”

On the biggest rival if competing in the Beijing Olympics:

“Ethiopia is strong, and my country is also competitive. If we have the chance to represent our country in the 2008 Olympics, we will try out best. In the coming days, we still need to qualify by participating in other events.”

Dong Guojian (CHN)- Silver Medalist

On missing out on Olympic qualification:

“I got my personal best today, but I still did not qualify for the Olympics. There is a big gap between our country and the international standard in this event. The gap makes the difference.”
