Athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics - Men's 10000 metres
- Athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics - Men's 10000 metres
The men's 10000 metres was one of 23 track events of the athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics, in Athens. It was contested at the Athens Olympic Stadium on August 20, by a total of 24 athletes from 14 nations. No preliminary rounds were held at this distance, since the number of competitors allowed a direct final.
The Ethiopians were in control throughout the distance. A leading group of five runners crystallised. As Bekele and Sihine turned up the pace with two kilometres left, Tadese, Kiprop and reigning champion Gebrselassie, who was running with a calf injury, were not able to keep up. Bekele, the world record holder, assured his victory with a brilliant Olympic record finish (27:05.10 minutes), completing the final 400 metres in less than 54 seconds.
