Bekele to Make Run at Own 10,000 Record at Prefontaine Classic

Not content to rest on his laurels, current 5,000m and 10,000m world record holder, Kenenisa Bekele, will make a go at breaking his own 2005 10,000m record at next month's Prefontaine Classic (Eurosport.com story; meet release). Meet directors looked at decades of data to help choose the optimal time for the attempt, concluding that morning held the best chance to try to topple his already herculean time of 26:17.53.
