O’Sullivan, who had been 40m back at one point in the second kilometre latched back on to the leaders. The third Ethiopian, Kidane, was in the lead at 4000m (11:53.60) with Wami sharing the work. Szabo took over with 600m to go and O’Sullivan closed to second place with 300m to go. The two raced side by side until the last 20m when Szabo finally got clear to win by 1.5 metres.
