  • This race ( 10,000 metres ) is quite simply the greatest championship race of all time. A finish like that had NEVER been seen before, and for it to happen in Helsinki, with a Finnish winner, sent the crowd completely wild.

  • Great atmosphere!

  • @mixuli1966 hieno persoona, omien teiden kulkija ja tosi oikeudenmukainen mies ja rehellinen(ei koskaan pettäisi vaimoaan esim!!).

  • I was there with dad and brother at age of nine, still remember that feeling

  • Julma-Juha on Paras!

  • Varmaan oli stadionilla Hirmu Meteli!

  • So his 100 splits on the last lap went- 14.7, 12.7, 13.1, 13.4.

    In the 5000m the video cuts in well after the bell, but his last 300m went- 12.5 (down the back straight), 13.1 & 13.6, giving him a last 300 of 39.2 also. Still a great turn of speed at the end of a reasonably fast 5 & 10 k, but not the 36.8 you imply.

  • @FinnMove - The only split you have correct is the last 400m. Just by looking at the last lap, there's no way that first 100m took only 17.1 sec! That's 68.4 pace for 400m, or 28:30 for 10k. Looking at the video, there are small white posts around the track, marking out each 100m. In the 10000m he went through the mark 300m from home in 27:13.5, 200m from home in 27:26.2, & 100 from home in 27:39.3. So his last 300m was 39.2, last 200 26.5, last 100 13.4.

  • @subnantingfort Maybe Abdi Bile in the 1987 worlds 1500. His lat 800m was 1:46 flat and last 400m 51 flat. Much of that great last 400m made in the last 200m. But no, I do not know the 300m split. His last 800m of that race is surely a record though.

  • the best last round of all times !!
