RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Yigrem Demelash arrives for a training session and right away gets into an argument with one of the coaches.
The coach has an idea of how this session should go. Demelash, short, slight, 22 years old and yet to run at the Olympics, has a different idea and isn't afraid to say it.
With a wave of his arm, Demelash dismisses the instructions, turns his back and jogs off down the track.
"I don't have a good feeling about the current coaches," he said in an interview with The Associated Press in Ethiopia a couple of weeks ago.
