Mohamed Kedir (Amharic: ሞሐመድ ከድር; born September 18, 1954) is a former long-distance runner from Ethiopia, who won a bronze medal in men's 10,000 metres at the 1980 Summer Olympics. In the 5,000 metres final at the same Olympics, Kedir was leading with 300 metres to go when Ireland's Eamonn Coghlan overtook him. Shortly after that, Kedir moved out to the second lane to let his teammate Miruts Yifter pass him, Yifter did and sprinted past Coghlan. Moments after moving to the second lane, Kedir fell - apparently after colliding with another Ethiopian runner, Yohannes Mohamed. Read more on Wikipedia
