1996 World Junior Championships in Athletics – Men's 10,000 metres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The men's 10,000 metres event at the 1996 World Junior Championships in Athletics was held in Sydney, Australia, at International Athletic Centre on 21 August 1996.[1][2] In the race, there was a mistake in the lap counting of the judges, that caused many athletes to run 24 laps (9600 m) only.
