Until very delayed in the season, Chris Solinsky led the 2010 performance catalog at 10,000m. This was a striking fact for several reason, including that Solinsky is American - no American has led the world list for the longest standard track event since the 1980s - and that so far he has run the distance only once on the path and is not necessarily in a rush to do it again.
In fact, Solinsky's 2010 season recognized him as the fastest 10,000m runner ever born outside Africa, the first sub-27:00 runner not born in Africa, as well as with his 12:55.53 5000m in Stockholm in August, the second-fastest non-African always at that distance.
