Geb's last 400m of 10000s?

Does anyone have HaileG's last 400m split of his championship 10000m races? So all World Champs and Oly 10000m finals - how fast did he kick in? Thanks in advance...

Uh . . . yeah. That's what I meant to say.

You know the amazing thing? Bekele ran a 53 in Athens while going unchallenged! Geb's two Olympic victories were with another kicker on his heels.
