HAMBURG: Kenenisa Bekele fulfilled the prediction of fellow-Ethiopian Haile Gebrselassie just ahead of his 22nd birthday when he stole the 10,000m world record from his mentor as well.
Little more than a week after capturing the 5,000m mark in Hengelo with a stunning solo run to finish in a time of 12:37.35, Bekele struck again in Ostrava on Tuesday to add the 10,000m mark in 26:20.31.
