Craig Mottram battles Augustine Choge in the 5000m final at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

On 20 March 2006 at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, Craig Mottram came second in the 5000m event with a time of 12 minutes, 58.19 seconds, beaten narrowly by Kenyan runner Augustine Choge. This race was only the second time that this event was won in under 13 minutes at a championship competition (first one being 2003 World Athletics Championships.)
