Bekele's unrivalled endurance and ability to sprint, holding the world record of 12:37.35 that has never been beaten, and his style of play and tactical execution have become a model for those who come after him.
Great Britain's Mo Farah also made a brilliant 5000m. He won the 5,000m and 10,000m double at London 2012 and Rio 2016 and was impressed by his precise control of the pace and powerful sprints.
The women's 5,000m event was equally exciting.
