The result of the move request was page moved. — Sebastian 16:33, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Gelete Burika → Gelete Burka —
"Burika" is misspelling according to http://www.iaaf.org/news/athletes/newsid=35218.html.
I decided to decline the move for now, since this page still uses "Burika" as the main name. After checking Google count on the two spellings and seeing that Google even asked "Did you mean: "Gelete Burka", I decided to do the move anyway, but when I realized that this page also lists her complete name with the same spelling, I thought I'd better ask here first. — Sebastian 02:01, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

"She was a finalist at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics, but finished last in tenth place."
Burka was the favorite to win the 1500m in the 2009 IAAF World Championships, and in the lead, when she was pushed by Natalia Rodriguez and fell. Rodriguez nominally finished first, but was disqualified. The present wording makes it sound like Burka simply turned in a poor performance, and erases a very notable incident.
