Tirunesh, who will turn 20 on July 24, won an Olympic bronze medal in the 5,000 last summer...
|
...and swept the 4K and 8K titles at the 2005 World Cross Country Championships in March.
|
Reports indicate that Tirunesh and Ejegayehu were on or ahead of world record pace for much of the race, but with one kilometer to go...
|
...it was pretty clear that the record would not fall.
