Gordon won the Junior 5000m title defeating Kenenisa Bekele by leading most of the race and outsprinting the Ethiopian. Gordon race the years following showing great promise in races but posting sub-par performances in most of his outings. Will 2005 be the year he emerge in the senior ranks or will he be another Kenyan who only showed promise as a junior?
