world Men 10000m History

Venue: Stadio Olimpico. Roma. Capp.: 65.000.
33 competitors from 21 nations.
World Record: 28:30.4 Vladimir Kutz, Soviet Union Moscou, Soviet Union 11th September 1956
Olympic Rekord: 28:45,6 Vladimir Kutz, Soviet Union Melbourne, Australia 23rd November 1956
More than half the field was able to stay in contact at the 5000m mark (14:22.2) with no-one attempting a serious break. With seven laps to go the Commonwealth champion Dave Power began to push the pace, running the eighth and ninth kilometres in 2:50.1 and 2:51.8 (after 2:56.4 & 2:53.1 for the preceding two kilometres). Only Bolotnikov, Desyatchikov and Grodotzki could stay with the Australian, but it was not enough to worry Bolotnikov who attacked with 700m to go, and built up an unassailable lead by the bell. Although Bolotnikov had won three USSR titles by the time of Rome, his only major championship outing over 10,000m had been a miserable 16th place in Melbourne nearly two minutes behind Kuts. Here, his last lap of 57.4 broke Kuts’s Olympic record by more than 13 seconds. The pre-race favourites had been Halberg, Krzyszkowiak, Bolotnikov and Pirie, but only Bolotnikov was fresh for the 10,000m.
