Results for 2012 London Olympics Men’s 10,000 meters race are published below. Galen Rupp, who won the 10,000 in Eugene (both in meet records), will be gunning for the first U.S. Olympic medal in either the 5,000 or 10,000 since 1964.
Kenya comes armed with Wilson Kiprop, the world leader at 27:01.98 from his early June run in Eugene; Moses Masai, (26:49.20 PB, 2007), the 2009 World silver medallist; and relative newcomer Bedan Karoki, who’s run 27:05.50 this year but remains untested. Beijing winner Kenenisa Bekele from Ethiopia will be there with his younger brother Tariku. Other runners include Gebre Gebremariam, and the experienced Ugandan Moses Kipsiro, who’s run 27:04.48 this season.
England has a passion for distance running, yet no Brit has even won an Olympic gold medal at 5,000 or 10,000 meters. Farah, who emigrated to England from Somalia at age 8, will be carrying that long history around the track.
