Bekele’s ‘fun run’
Ethiopian Bekele made it look easy as he strolled away to glory in the 3000m, dominating the final laps to win in 7:39.32 and providing the priceless outcome on his first gold medal on the boards. “After winning titles indoors and in cross country, indoors is like a fun run for me.”
The first gold medal of the day went the way of Germany, as Niklaus edged closer towards leader Clay in the Pole Vault, the penultimate event which he won, and then strode away to win the 1000m in 2:47.80. His time was enough for a five points victory and he said: “Did I think I would win after five events? No. But what a fantastic day this has been for me.”
