Eluid is pictured above (560) with 2 laps to go during the final of the 5000m at the
2005 World Championships in Helsinki. Disappointingly for Kipchoge, who was the
defending champion, he finished just outisde the medals in fourth place.
The Gold was won by his compatriot Benjamin Limo (red vest partially blocked by 691),
the silver went to Sileshi Sihine (274) and the bronze to Craig Mottram (yellow & green vest).
