Kipsang leads the men's 10,000 metres final with 6 laps to complete followed by Tanui and
race winner Farah behind. Geoffrey took the lead at the bell but Mo's finishing
speed was too strong. His vest says Kamworor. His full name is Geoffrey Kipsang Kamworor.
Until Beijing he was better known as a road runner and for his cross country successes.
