International Olympic Committee chairman Jacques Rogge is seen at his hotel in Ancient Olympia, southern Greece, during an interview with the Associated Press on Monday, March 24 2008. The Olympic marathon in Beijing won't be tarnished by world record-holder Haile Gebrselassie's decision to skip the event because of pollution concerns, Rogge said. He said figures show there is "no danger whatsoever" for athletes competing in high-intensity events lasting under an hour, but that those involved in endurance events longer than that _ such as the marathon, road cycling and triathlon _ could be affected by poor air.
