    Both Centrowitz Se and Salazar ran within 10s of the then world 5000 record, 13:06.

    Schul and Dellinger in 1964 all marks at big meets on US soil I believe.

    Going back a bit further, 2-3 others at least capable. Gold medalist in 2500m steeple 1904 and near world record miler George Orton clearly capable and Zamperini close.

    Of the 4 runners you listed none of them had a win in Europe. Does not follow instructions.

    The only occasions since 1966 are

    10.08.1976 Stockholm Macdonald 13:19.40 - WR 13:13.0

    24.08.1977 Zürich Liquori 13:16.00 - WR 13:12.87

    04.07.1978 Stockholm Liquori 13:16.21 - WR 13:08.4

    12.06.2025 Oslo Young 12:45.27 - WR 12:35.36

    Did Bob Schul ever do it in the period before this?

    He must have had a win in Europe in sub 13:45.0 - I doubt he had, but I'm not sure.
