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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He broke many World Records during the 60s - 17 according to Wikipedia - but never won a major Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicIRL 4,791 Posted August 21, 2020 #79 Share Posted August 21, 2020 So you could jump a WR and still get beaten by someone who jumps something mediocre. Great innovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
