Strange to see that Zátopek only had it once. Guess he was a racer more than a time triallist.

 

He also did not run 5000m so often to be honest (basically only at major events), he was more a 10k and longer distances specialist like the today nonexistant 20k, 25k races or one hour race,

Should also have mentioned the Aussie Ron Clarke, who was famous for completely the opposite. He broke many World Records during the 60s - 17 according to Wikipedia - but never won a major Gold.

Just managed to watch the Monaco event Sunday evening, but holy crap what a race by Cheptegei :hyper: 

 

Without any doubt one of the sports highlights of the past few years, I'm very glad I managed to avoid any spoilers until I watched it :d

Stockholm preview.  Unfortunately they’ve gone back to stupid stunts in some events.

Jumpers have been irate on Twitter about the format.

    • Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony. 
    • That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.  
    • Today : Jordan 3-0 Egypt  This team will surprise us
