[@markblow1966]

Watching the video of Moorcroft breaking the 5000m world record Moorcroft according to the timing ran 13.00.38 yet here the world record they are breaking is 13.00.41? Why did they change Moorcroft’s time to 13.00.41?

[@ABPerlov]

Is there a full video of this race? Aouita, Maree and Cova is a great field.
