Daniel Komen sets the 3000-meter world record with an astonishing 7:20.67 performance in Rieti.
This is possibly one of the greatest races / times ever run in the history of the sport of running. Daniel Komen comes through the first mile at sub-4 pace and just keeps going. This page is worth bookmarking. RunnerVision.comWhy it's here
3 people recommend thisWhat commenters say. Highly recommended as one of the greatest distance races ever run, featuring incredible pacing and splits.

On “List of Indoor records broken this season (World, American, Collegiate, and HS records). Which was most impressive to you?”
It's certainly an impressive time. 8:00 has been broken outdoors though, in case you didn't know. There's a video about it here. A video of the entire 3k world record race, which is an even more impressive performance (by conversion) than the sub 8 two mile is here I suggest watching the 3k video and paying attention to the splits. It's just ridiculous.

On “Is 14s in 100m good for a 9yr old?”
That's pace for a world record in the 3k, which doesn't sound that impressive until you try to imagine a 9 year old running this fast

Who wants a geeky stat? On the 1st September 1996, Tim Hutchings commentated on one of the most astonishing performances in athletics history; Daniel Komen's 7:20 over 3000m in Rieti. Today, 28 years later, he commentated on that record being broken. That's one helluva rare thing to happen surely!
