Guy is "29" and has been winning medals for 10+ years. He's crushing the marathon now with no signs of slowing down, yet you don't hear much about him. His 2003 WC 5k is one of the greatest races I've ever seen. Who's more underrated/underappreciated?!

2 Olympic medals
- 3rd in the 5k 2004 (losing to El G & Bekele)
- 2nd in the 5k 2008 (losing to Bekele)
2 World Champ medals
- 1st in the 5k 2003 (BEATING El G & Bekele)
- 2nd in the 5k 2007 (losing to Lagat)
4th fastest ever in the 5k
- 12:46.53 (behind Bekele, Geb, & Komen)
