I think that Aouita and Fernando Mamede should be in the mix for Greatest Range. Aouita is well known on this boards. Mamede is lees known but check this out: Thirty-one years ago, on July 2, 1984, Portugal’s Fernando Mamede ran 27:13.81 for 10,000m, breaking his own world record by nine seconds. For the 33-year-old Mamede, the record confirmed him as one of the favorites for a gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. It was also the most recent accomplishment in an impressive career. Mamede competed in three Olympics (1972, 1976, and 1984). In 1972, he competed in the 800, the 1500, and ran the anchor leg for Portugal’s 4×400 relay. I know of no other human being who has competed in both an Olympic 10,000m and 4×400. Mamede also set 27 national records, won 20 national titles at distances from 800m to 10,000m, set three European records, and three world records. He even won a bronze medal in the World Cross-Country Championships over 12K.
