The main photo above shows Kenenisa Bekele (1662) leading the field
during the final of the men's 10,000m at the 2008 Olympic Games in
Beijing. Bekele went on to claim the gold medal in Olympic record time,
with Sileshi Sihine (1663) winning silver. Moses (2243) agonisingly
missed out on the bronze medal to his Kenyan team mate Micah Kogo
(2275), despite the pair clocking the same time of 27.04.11. The inset
picture shows the top four placed athletes shortly after crossing the
line, with Bekele in celebratory pose.
