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.

There is also that Moorcroft guy who basically never won anything.

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

 

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

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

So you could jump a WR and still get beaten by someone who jumps something mediocre. Great innovation.

Amazingly stupid innovation
