K. Ken Nakamura, one of our top track statisticians,  scoured the lists to find out where Chris Solinsky’s 10,000m debut sits on the world performance lists—with the the knowledge we have today, Chris Solinsky’s 10,000 meter run is fourth best debut ever, over that distance! 

I have also provided splits, from watching the Flotrack.org video (which is quite good!) of the race, and actually checking the splits. We hope you enjoy!
