At his some games in 1992 he defended his 5000m gold with another new Games record but despite running almost the same time as four years earlier ended up in fourth in the 1500m. His third games in 1996 would produce yet another fourth place, this time in the 5000m and at his last games in 2000 he failed to finish the marathon [1]
