Golden League meet in Zurich. Bekele keeps his winning streak. Unreal. Only very recently, Ritz split with Brad Hudson and joined the Alberto Salazar group. Now he breaks Bob Kennedy's record, which goes back to the mid '90s. Kennedy was the top runner in the U.S. at a time when the world running scene simply exploded; what once seemed unthinkable performances suddenly became commonplace, and Kennedy talks about that in this interview -- http://www.mensracing.com/athletes/interviews/2006/bobkennedy030706 -- which I recall reading some time ago.
Anyway, got a little distracted there. The results are below, and here is a link to the video: http://www.flotrack.org/videos/coverage/view_video/235529-2009-weltklasse-zurich/199912-kenenisa-wins-ritz-sets-ar-at-zurich
