In 1996, Haile Gebrselassie’s rise to the pinnacle of world distance running was all but complete. After winning the 1992 World Junior Championship double over 5000m and 10,000m, he came as close as you could to repeating the feat in his first year as a senior, winning the 10,000m and finishing second in the 5000m at the 1993 World Championships. Another stellar year followed for the Emperor of Ethiopia in 1995 as he shed nine seconds off the 10,000m world record before defending his 10,000m World Championship and then tearing an amazing 11 seconds off the world record for 5000m.
