  Moneghetti running on, but not to the Olympics - Sport - www.theage.com.au

Moneghetti says the world cross-country is a chance for him to "put my money where my mouth is" after he was a strong critic of Athletics Australia for not sending any long-course teams last year.

Moneghetti defied cold, windy conditions at Landy Field to cover 19.71km in one hour, smashing the old mark of 19.149km set by Belgian Jozef Eyckmans in 1996.
From the day that Moneghetti's protege, best friend, and meet organiser Lee Troop contacted him about this race six months ago, he had Eyckmans' over 40s world record written down on a note on his desk, along with the lap time of 74 seconds that would be required to beat it.
Although he is officially retired, Moneghetti's next aim is to run the 5,000 metres at the Victorian Championships at the MCG in February.
