Rawson gushed to the audience, roughly quoted, that Bekele is the first man in the over thirty year history of the World Championships to accomplish that feat.
A more accurate statement would give credit to Bekele for being the only man to win both the long and short course-races at the World Cross Country Championships, since the short course race was introduced five years ago.

A 21-year-old Ethiopian, Kenenisa Bekele, broke both records in the space of nine days.
