RE: Day 1217: 5 Minute Freewrite: Friday - Prompt: long distance
Since I am a fan of long-distance running I noticed an interesting fact in records progression on 10,000 meters.
On June 8th, 2021 Letesenbet Gidey established a new world record on that distance with the amazing result of
29:01.03
This is almost the same result as the great Emil Zátopek showed on November 1st, 1953
29:01.6
in fact, Gidey would have beaten him in a photo-finish by three one thousand's of a second.
