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).
