Remember Miruts Yifter?

[Seafront Plodder]

I'm sure all of us of a certain age will remember this great little Ethiopian, Yifter The Shifter. He was a 10K runner who earned his nickname through his remarkable turn of speed to blast away from the field. Enjoy the link below. It's the whole race but forward to about 8 minutes to see him destroy the world class field in the last lap of the 10,000 metres - Moscow 1980 Olympics.

Stunning stuff.
