World marathon record holder Haile Gebrselassie believes he can lower his mark still further when he takes part in the Dubai marathon on January 18. 

The twice Olympic 10,000 metres champion, who will be running his final race over 42.195 kms before the Beijing Olympics, clocked two hours four minutes 26 seconds in Berlin last September.

"He and I are sure that he can do under 2:04," his Dutch manager Jos Hermens said. "But he's 34 and this might be his last chance."
