The Athens Olympics Men's 5,000 M Final Commentary in the Last Two Minutes


"...And Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya leads. Bekele at second. And here comes El Guerrouj. Somebody’s gonna have to run close to 50 seconds for the last lap. And El Guerrouj, I would have thought, would make his move earlier than this. And he is about to be boxed in by the Ethiopians. They will not be doing him any favor. You are right. Three Ethiopians around him, allowing Bekele to really isolate himself against the Kenyan. And Bekele goes by Kipchoge. (He) Gets a narrow lead. (He) Now starts to pull away. Here comes El Guerrouj after him. Can he get him? Bekele, gold medalist at 10,000 M. El Guerrouj, gold medalist at 1,500. Here they are. The home straight away of the 5,000 M. Bekele! El Guerrouj! El Guerrouj! Alongside his talented younger rival! Bekele! El Guerrouj! Right together! Sprinting it the end of 5,000. And now El Guerrouj pulls away! To win!"
