ADDIS ABABA – Ethiopia won a clean sweep of golds in the men and women’s 5,000 and 10,000 metres at the 2008 Olympics, but that was not enough for Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and the country is after middle distance glory in London.Meles, an ardent sports fan, asked the governing body why his country failed to repeat its long distance exploits in the short and middle distance categories following a post-Olympic inquiry."I said we lacked resources. He immediately ordered an expansion at all costs,” national team coach Yilma Berta told Reuters.The London Games will provide Ethiopia’s first stern test since embarking on its quest for glory in the 800 and 1,500 metres.The Horn of Africa country’s strong showing over long distance events dates back to Miruts Yifter’s gold in Moscow in 1980.After quietly trailing in his rivals’ slipstream for the last few laps of the 10,000 final, the scruffy Ethiopian with a balding mop turned on the turbo with just 300 metres left and breezed to Olympic glory.
