Heats
Gebrselassie, twice the World Champion by the time of the Olympics, was the big favourite to win the title. No-one could have imagined such aremarkable race, particularly after the first half was covered in a com fortable 13:55.2 in the 27°C heat, with Nizigama leading for most of the way. Koech changed things just after halfway, producing a 62 lap in the sixth kilometre, covered in 2:39.6. Machuka helped with the pace in the eighth kilometre, and Tergat began to execute the final part of the grand Kenyan plan with six laps to go, passing 8000m in 22:02.0. The pack of five (Hissou, Gebrselassie and the three Kenyans) suddenly nar rowed to a duel after a 60.3 lap, which featured a 29 second 200m burst by the tall Kenyan. Tergat then ran 62 and two laps of 62.5, but found the little Ethiopian gliding past him just before the bell. Gebrselassie ran his next 200m in 28.4, opening up a 12m gap, which Tergat closed to 6m in the finishing straight. The Ethiopian clocked 57.48 for his last lap compared with 57.93 by the Kenyan. Both much faster than Hissou’s 64.21. The second half had taken just 13:11.5 for “Geb”, and the sheer pace, allied with the hard track meant that he would withdraw from the 5000m.
