Just took his splits from the video footage: His acceleration lap: after the 2'32 km at 8'05"15 he is 4m behind so 8'05"7 then 9'02"3 that is a 56"6 lap folks. Another checkpoint is 8'16"4 to 9'13"4 also showing 57" flat. He continues then to do 9'02"3 to 10'02"5 or 60"2. It is half way that lap we get the 58"38 split. So he did a 1'56"8 for 800m.
Barnabas Njuguna His World Récord of 7:20.67 in the 3,000 meters still stands to this very day. It’s one of the oldest standing records in the book that are still world-wide recognized distances. Of course there are older records, but they are most likely distances that are not recognized in a world wide manner anymore.
The Epic Daniel Komen from Kenya 🇰🇪😍. His 7:20 for 3,000 meters rates superior to his 2 miles effort of 7:59., and even that is a outstanding performance!
PS: I just compared this with John Ngugi's olympic final (see my comments there also): he did a 57"5 just two minutes into the race, and a 1'58 for 800m. Those two performances stand, as inspiration for front runners!
One of the greats who could’ve been greatest of cared as much about running as others but was happy with what achieved and being a land owner in Kenyan with money he made from running

Fantastic Daniel Komen ! So elegant !
Maravilloso Komen!! Uno de lo más grandes corredores de todos los tiempos!!
Daniel komen was easily the biggest talent runnings ever seen. His career ended very early unfortunately.
Daniel komen is an living legend. King of 5000m in Kenya to date
