There is a great video online here of the amazing 10,000m at the 2010 Payton Jordan Invitational meeting at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California last month, where american Chris Solinsky ran a time of 26:59.60 to break the American Record by 13 seconds, in the same race that AFD athlete Chris Thompson ran 27:29.61 to go to 3rd on the UK all-time ranking.
Simply stunning running, and a very entertaining video with some fantastically excited but knowledgeable commentary too.
In an interview following todays UK Championship 5000m and Euro Trials, Thompson indicated that like Mo Farah, he may double up the 5000 and 10,000 at the European Championships next month in Barcelona. The BBC coveage of this weekends UK Champs action, including the womens 1500m final on day one, and Chris Thompson in the mens 5000m final on day two is available on the BBC iPlayer for the next 7 days.
