🏃 Hagos Gebrhiwet Runs 12:36.72 to Win Epic 5000m in Oslo & Move to #2 All-Time
Yomif Kejelcha was 2nd in 12:38.95 as two men broke 12:40 in the same race for the first time ever

✨ Hagos Gebrhiwet ran 12:36.73 on Thursday evening at the Bislett Games in Oslo to win an incredible 5,000-meter race and give Joshua Cheptegei’s 12:35.36 world record a scare. Gebrhiwet’s time – which included a 3:55 final 1600 and a 54.99 last lap – was the second-fastest ever run and broke Kenenisa Bekele’s Ethiopian record of 12:37.35, a mark that had stood as the world record for 16 years until Cheptegei broke it in 2020.

Gebrhiwet had to run fast as the performances behind him were spectacular. Yomif Kejelcha, who pushed the pace throughout the final mile, was second in 12:38.95, moving to #4 on the all-time list – and marking the first time two men had broken 12:40 in the same race. World Cross Country champion Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda was 3rd in a pb of 12:40.96, after which there was a big gap to Spain’s Thierry Ndikumwenayo in 4th (12:48.10).

In all, 12 of the top 13 men set personal bests, including national records for Ethiopia (Gebrhiwet), Guatemala (Luis Grijalva, 12:50.58), Switzerland (Dominic Lobalu, 12:50.90), Sweden (Andreas Almgren, 12:50.94), France (Jimmy Gressier, 12:54.97), and South Africa (Adriaan Wildschutt, 12:56.67). One of the few men not to PR was the world record holder Cheptegei, who faded over the final laps and was only 9th in 12:51.94.

Overall, the top 13 men broke 13:00, tying the record for most in a single race set in Florence last year.
