Ethiopian marathon legend Haile Gebrselassie says it was a mistake to hold the current track and field world championships in Qatar amid the intense heat and that runners in the marathon on Saturday could have died.

Due to the challenging weather conditions, three Israeli runners were not able to complete the women’s marathon and one even collapsed.
