ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia -- Kenenisa Bekele wont compete at next months Olympics, perhaps the distance running greats last chance at the Games, after he was left off Ethiopias final team for failing to meet the countrys qualifying criteria in both the marathon and the 10,000 meters. White Air Max Australia .The world-record holder in the 5,000 and 10,000, Bekele had appealed his exclusion in the marathon, but the Ethiopian Athletics Federation released its final list for the Rio de Janeiro Games over the weekend, confirming Bekeles absence.Bekele was first denied a place in the marathon when the federation said he hadnt run enough big races over the past year to meet the selection criteria, which have been criticized by Bekele.He then made a late attempt to get on the team in the 10,000. Bekele failed to finish the race at a trials event in Hengelo, Netherlands, last month.Almaz Ayana, Ethiopias rising star, was selected to run in the womens 5,000 and 10,000 in Rio. She will come up against compatriot and two-time Olympic champion Tirunesh Dibaba in the 10,000. Dibaba was named as a reserve for the 5,000, an event in which she is a former Olympic champion, two-time world champion and the world-record holder.Ayana, 24, is the current world champion in the 5,000 and ran the second-fastest time in history over the distance last month in Rome, missing Dibabas record by a little over a second.Ethiopias other strong medal contender is Tiruneshs sister, Genzebe Dibaba, the world champion and world-record holder in the 1,500. Former world champion Mohammed Aman is Ethiopias lone hope in the mens 800.Bekele didnt even make it as a reserve for the marathon or the 10,000, meaning that at the age of 34, the four-time Olympic and five-time world champion could be unlikely to compete at a future Games.He had targeted the marathon as his next challenge, but an injury prevented him competing last year and limited his preparations. Still, he finished third at the London Marathon in April after a long layoff and won the 10K Great Manchester Run in Britain in May. Discount Air Max Australia .

The contract will see the 2016 championship holder compete full time in the Madden NFL 17 Championship Series.Sardoni is fresh to the Madden game, having started his competitive career only three years ago.
