[edit]

The phrase, "He is the principal winner of all times in that race" sounds awkward to me. Is this conventional British English?

As an American, I wouldn't say "of all times," I would say "of all time."

Also, I wouldn't say "principal winner." I can imagine that this would mean that Paul has won the race more often than any other individual, but in American English, "principal winner" would mean biggest winner in some contest where there were several winners

I would rewrite the sentence as: He has holds the record for victories in that race, and holds the record time on the present 15km course, which he established in 1995."

Authenticity check: A search reveals that the phrase "regarded by many" appears in the text. Is the phrase a symptom of a dubious statement? Could a source be quoted instead? Perhaps the "many" could be identified? Might text be edited to more genuinely reflect specific facts?

Incorrect fact in the article: Tergat held the half marathon world record until 2006 when it was beaten by Haile Gebreselassie. It was not bettered by Samuel Wanjiru in 2005, as the article claims. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.217.64.174 (talk) 18:25, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
