Bekele wants to race Farah

Ethiopian long-distance runner Kenenisa Bekele will not be competing at the Olympics in Rio.

The three-time Olympic champion failed to meet the country's qualifying criteria in both the marathon and the 10,000 meters.

Jos Hermens has been Bekele's agent for his entire career and says this isn't the last we'll see of him on the world stage.

He tells John Bennett that Bekele wants to face Mo Farah.
