Most distance runners move up in distance as they get older.
Morocco's Salah Hissou went the other way. That's an easy one. He had to get away from Haile Gebrselassie and Paul Tergat. After the Saturday night final in Seville, he might decide to stay there. Kennedy set the pace for the first 1000 meters, then held on as long as he could, about eight laps, as Hissou and Limo shared it the rest of the way.
