Serhiy Lebid (Ukrainian: Сергій Лебідь; born July 15, 1975 in Dnipropetrovsk)[1] is a Ukrainian long-distance runner.

Career

He has won the European Cross Country championships on nine occasions,[2] winning in 1998, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2010.

Serhiy Lebid finished seventh in the 5,000 m at the 2000 Olympic Games, but did not qualify from his heat in the same event at the 2004 Olympics.

He won a bronze medal in the 5,000 m final at the 2002 European Athletics Championships in Munich and came fifth in the 10,000 m at the 2006 European Athletics Championships.

Lebid came third at the Great Manchester Run in May 2010.[3] In October he was the best performing European at the Giro al Sas 10K in Trento as he finished third behind Edwin Soi and Wilson Busienei with a time of 28:48.3.[4] He won his record ninth title in the men's race at the 2010 European Cross Country Championships, taking the lead in the final stages after a moderately paced start.[5] This also extended his appearance record at the championships – he is the only athlete to have competed every year since the championships' creation in 1994.[6] He secured a second career win at the Lotto Cross Cup Brussels later that month, holding off the Kenyan challengers.[7] A fourth-place finish at the Great Edinburgh Cross Country in January helped the Europeans to the team title,[8] and he was the first European home at the Cross Internacional de San Sebastián with a third-place finish.[9]

He returned to the Manchester 10K in May 2011 and came third behind Haile Gebrselassie and Chris Thompson.[10]

Serhiy Lebid won the 2014 Nagano Marathon (2:13:56). He took 10th place in the 2015 London Marathon with a time of 2:10:21.
