When Has Morceli Ever OutKicked Geb?????????

It was August of 1994. Morceli dusted Geb over the last 200, and Geb just gave up, much like he did in 96 when Komen outkicked him in the last 200 of a 5K. In that one, Geb shut it down, smiling, when he realized he couldn't take him that day.

Monaco Herculis Gran Prix meet, 1994. Morceli 7:25, Gebreselassie 7:37. Little bit of a gap.....

It's all in the last half lap. Geb jogs in once he knows he's going to lose.

Geb got his revenge on Morceli at Hengelo in 97, Morceli fell off the pace in the middle and dropped out. He later cited anemia as the culprit.
