Double Olympic champion Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco, who has missed the entire 2005 season of competition has said he might extend his career to compete in the Beijing Games in 2008.
The 31-year-old Moroccan said he would take stock at the end of 2006 to possibly extend his career until 2008 to take in the Games.
"And if I do that it will, of course, be over 5000m with quality preparation over the 1500m. I resumed training two weeks ago and I'm still motivated. I will base my summer on the 1500m, that's my race, that's the one I master perfectly."
"Indoors, it's forecast that I make my comeback at the end of January over 1500m, but I don't know where. I've planned to compete in the (2006 IAAF) World Indoor Championships in Moscow at 3000m," said El Guerrouj.
