Moen 1hr European record
KRISTANSAND (NOR, Aug 7): New European one hour record by Sondre Nordstad Moen at Kristiansand Stadium with 21 131 meters. He erased Jos Hermens’ European record from 1976, which was 20,944 meters. Haile Gebrselassie’s world record from Ostrava Golden Spike in 2007 is 21 285 meters. In the 20 000 m split he clocked 56:53.2 national record. His Italian coach Renato Canova had said that 21 kilometers was the goal and he did it brilliantly.
