Daniel Kipngetich Komen (born 17 May 1976)[2] is a Kenyan middle- and long-distance runner. Remembered for his rivalry with Haile Gebrselassie, his most notable achievements came in a two-year period between 1996 and 1998, during which he broke a string of world records.[2]
Komen currently holds the world record in the 3000 metres with a time of 7:20.67 set in 1996. With his 7.58.61 world best in the 2-mile race set in 1997, he is one of two men in history to run back-to-back Miles at a sub-four-minute mile pace. Komen's splits were 3:59.4 on both the first and second half of the race.[2] He is also the Kenyan record holder for the 5000 metres both outdoors and indoors.
Komen was the second man, after Saïd Aouita, to break the 31⁄2-minute mark for the 1500 m, the 71⁄2-minute mark for 3000 m, and the 13-minute mark for the 5000 m.[citation needed]
