Chris Thompson (runner)
British long-distance runner
Christopher Thompson (born 17 April 1981) is a British long-distance runner, who won the silver medal in the 10,000 metres at the 2010 European Athletics Championships in Barcelona, on 27 July 2010 behind his compatriot Mo Farah.[1] Prior to his 2010 medal win he had won the European U23 5000 m Championship in 2003.[2] However he was initially unable to build on this victory, as he had substantial injury problems for a number of years.
He is currently coached by Alan Storey.
Thompson ran at the 2010 Great Yorkshire Run in September and came close to victory, but was edged out by a second by AustralianCraig Mottram.[3] He took on top African runners at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, but he could not repeat his podium performance of Barcelona; he finished in fifth place behind Ugandan winner Moses Kipsiro and the Kenyan team, making him the top non-African performer in the event.[4]
