Hey Folks,
May as well start a new thread, as the previous one/s are so sidetracked, and it seems like plenty of people want to see the race. Maybe we can try to keep this thread a little more on topic; What a great run.
Here's Kenenisa Bekele's 5000m WR, in Hengelo 2004.
It's every bit as awesome as one might imagine.

btw - in case you aren't aware .. if you click that little "gear icon" in the youtube player, you get various quality versions .. so for a higher res playback, make sure you have the setting at 480p for this video; depending on your internet speed, it could default lower. I wish youtube would change this and not set it automatically, but let the person who uploads the video set a default in the preferences.
