The IAAF story on this at http://www.iaaf.org/news/Kind=2/newsId=20007.html correctly states 'Hicham El Guerrouj will run the first competitive 5000m of his senior career" as he ran 13:46.79 back in 1992, when he won the bronze medal at the World Juniors of that year.

I thought I remembered him already running a competitive 5K somewhere along the line - am I wrong? - Ed Parrot
