I'm pretty sure that Cierpinski held the 3k, 3k st, 10k and marathon records for E. Germany all at the same time. He almost certainly didn't hold the 1500 record and, after an embarrassing amount of time searching, I couldn't discover whether he had the 5000. I thought I'd throw his name out there just in case it jogged the memories of more knowledgeable men (and women...) than I.

Just wondering how you came - after this emberassing amount of time searching - to the conclusion, that he held all of those track records? He has had none of them. (But for sure has had the Marathon record, where he still is the 5th fastest German ever).

"*5th fastest German ever" is more appropriate

No steeplchase but not bad.

The technicality that, sure, here's three or four inconsequential records he didn't hold, but aren't all the others in this range close enough? What are ya, some kind of pedant? You gonna make me append a smiley or a "nudge nudge wink wink"?

Thing of beauty.
