Kennisa Bekele has followed in Haile's steps and has now bettered him in every event Haile held a former WR. The 5000m, 10000m WR's are now held by Kennesisa Bekele and the marathon 2nd best time is also his.
Bekele may be the GOAT, and I do love him, but the difference between him and his mentor and previous GOAT, is the smile that was always on Haile's face. That's what made him so lovable.
I raised myself from a lowest place a person could be and put me in a place very close to where I dreamed of because of this world class man! Thank you my example Haile Gebreselassie!
Haile Gebrselassie is the greatest athlete of all time! In other words, he is the G.O.A.T! Not even Kenenisa Bekele comes close! Breaking world records in itself is not a walk in the park! Doing it multiple times in a wide range of distances is mind boggling! I am Kenyan by the way!
Are you deluded ? how can you say Bekele doesn't even come close when he is the one who broke all of his world records and won more championships than him ? fair enough in your opinion he is the G.O.A.T which i dont agree by the way but dont say he doesn't come close it just makes you sounds stupid.
Bekele was also a complete beast and pretty much untouchable in Cross Country. Not trying to take anything away from the King, but he won two medals (bronze and a silver as a junior) at World XC, arguably the most competitive distance race on the planet, while Bekele won 11 gold and 1 silver. He was undefeated over both the short course and long course for 5 consecutive years (2002 - 2006). No runner can match that kind of resume.
I am Ethiopian and I am always inspired by Haile. But, Kenenisa Bekele is the greatest long distance runner I have ever seen. To this day, I truly believe that he respected Hisham Elgarouj unnecessarily and waited till the last lap giving advantage to a short distance great like the Moroccan in the 5000m Athens olympics. If he started in the final 4 laps, he was winning that race. He is the man! Unbelievable for Haile and Kenenisa to dominate for over 20 years one after the other!
I met Haile in a national x country race of 12km in january 1988 in Assela city..his home town.we represented our respective regions. He was way way younger than me..probably the youngest of all. I remember how he galloped past me as the race unfolded with consumate ease. I sensed running must be inborn... seeing this kid running so fast with stride that matches older runners.He was placed 7th competing with the very best that came from Addis. During the dinner ceremony after the race where we were shown a video of the late Miruts Yifter's 5000 meter final win in the Moscow 1980 olympics. Miruts Yifter himself was with us on the dinner session, also watching the video and everybody was clapping for him as the video showed eventually Miruts bursting in speed past the tanzanian runner and the finn carlo maninca in the last lap with 300 meters to go.Miruts was smiling meanwhile. Haile's friends during dinner session cheered him a lot saying this is our hope, Assela town's future hope, and during that same dinner ceremony they were loughing constantly at him and mocking him for picking kocho, a loal staple food instead of the more stylish meat. He was mocking them back saying you all are ignorant about the value of kocho.
You are giving me more and more running motivation with each new video! I would love you to make a full documentary on Kenenisa Bekele's life. From childhood up until his 02:01:41 marathon. He is my idol when it comes to running.
I had doubts whether he could be considered the greatest prior to his incredible marathon in 2019. He has an unbelievable 5000 m and 10000 m time that I believe are supreme times that are not going to be touched for a long time to come. However then he had only one solid marathon and had nearly nothing else in the marathon and had even not completed many marathons in his career. So then I held Kipchoge as the GOAT long distance runner, but after his 2:01.41 I have no doubts anymore- He's the GOAT in long distance no doubt.
@@alansamuel2454 Kenenisa is the greatest ever!! His 5000m and 10000m records were broken by the help of kangaroo shoes and robotic wavelight pacing system. No will comes close to Bekele
Great video with inspiring scenes! 1. Change your tactics, meet your demands. 2. Even in the worst pain, Keep the smile. 3. Maintain a positive attitude, achieve your goals. Thank you Legend!
Born in the right place, with the right genetics, in the right time, and with the right mindset. That type of coincidence stacked on coincidence is the reason people like Haile are considered "greatest in a generation".
Still the second fastest 5k and 10k runner ever. Had he been chasing bekeles records instead of bekele chasing his, who knows how fast he would have run!
What an excellent video this is. Thank you. That part about Geb running to school with his books in his hands was a super-genius detail that will hook any track geek!
If Haile was younger and competing today alongside Kipchoge and Bekele, then he could most certainly have been the third man to run a sub-2:02 marathon.
Man if he get Kipchoge’s chance like Nike shoes 4% & 5% and other facilities by nn global sports management for sure he could run u2hr.He has strong mentality & physicality
The icon man who had been run with out today’s technology but showed amazing performance for the world for more than 2 decades.if he got the today technology aids like Nike shoes for sure he could run marathon u2 hr
@@waterproof4403 Yep gives current athletes a huge advantage in calculational benefit especially if you assume they're of fairly raw skill themselves. Bekele and Haile had to depend on mental grit and wit rather than mechanically aided world record setting.
I find your uploads interesting and informative, would love to see more of Gebrselassie and other great drug-free athletes like Emil Zatopek, Lasse Viren, Mitrus Yifter and Henry Rono please.
Hayela Gabrielle one of faster runners he was time. I so admire his talent and fantastic runners he was time never for get him he was one of Ethiopian hero.

*Haile Gebrselassie* is the Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan, Pelè, Tiger Woods, Rafael Nadal, Wayne Gretzky of Track and Field. No one can deny it.
😍😍😍😍
nobody wants to insist because well YOU are 100 PERCENT CORRECT

Not one of the greatest ever, but the greatest ever!
I am Kenyan and I approve this message.
Second to the great kenenisa
U know someone 27 world record broker
♥️
Indeed
3 videos in one week it’s a Christmas miracle
I will always remember him as one of those runners that took this sport to another level.
He is not one of the greatest, he is the greatest by a long margin!
Haille is the one that started this Renaissance of Track and World Records. The rest even Kipchoge follow in his footsteps. Love you Haille.

Always a smile on his face and can't recall a single rival having a bad word to say about him. A class act.

Legend, myth! The greatest of all time!!!
That's very interesting, about him carrying his books being part of his running form from then on. Awesome video dude.
I broke the cross country record at my middle school 3 times I remember being really hyped when they put it on the wall

Yes another video
We need more about others like Abebe Bekele, Mamo Wolde

Amazing best ever runner
people say they kick up a gear but Haile 1 gear was not enough he kicked up several gears and it was a wonder to behold every time
Had to be an Ethiopian, why some might ask, because Ethiopia is where humanity and civilization start from. The first place woman conceived.
Good video 👍🏽👍🏽
BEST EVER...
I can watch this video all day.
That's true dedication...

Indeed the greatest
Wow incredible. respect 🙏🌸

the best ever if you break 27 world records your a true great a king of long distance running

@@lordsackmann2363 Not at all. Great runner tho, but you cant replace breaking WR in all distances, with been pretty good marathonrunner.
Ok good point. But he is by far the greatest Marathon Runner, or not ?
