My hero :- Haile Gibrselassie
"THE ETHIOPIAN LION"
Love from INDIA
I'm also Bro_Raj333🇮🇳
We love indian people too.
He’s not a lion to me. I see him as a monster of his past you might not understand what I mean but he doesn’t deserve not even on Olympic medal.
Prince and son of David shut the f******
@@Hi-xu9xn what did he do?
It's impossible not to feel uplifted when you see Haile's beaming smile. He always smiles, even after gruelling and punishing races.
He certainly hasn’t got a gap tooth like that guy said though lol. Not sure why he said that
I'm a Kenyan but feeling proud of our competitors on the track. Congratulations Haile
Like hile saide will need each other to make it in this white world .
Props to Kenyans
We are proud
Jamaa Mmoja I’m Ethiopian runner
As a Kenyan, everytime we knew Gaibresselasie was running.....we would just be like "Oh no"
Ethiopian people are so amazing, strong. I love Ethiopia because I am Ethiopian. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹😘😘😘😘😘😘😘💪💪💪💪💪💪
I named Haile to my son in honor to Haile Gebrselassie.
woow, really? Amazing story man
Less impressive, but also my cat.
Haile means “my power” in Amharic(Ethiopian) language. It’s a powerful name to have. 👍🏽🇪🇹

I see his smile and i remember my dad.. 😥 rip papa
😞♥️
I’ll pray for u🥺🥺🥺
❤❤😢😢
He is smiling down upon you until the day you will meet again 👊🏾 faith and blessings
The slogan "Its possible" was created in his name in ethiopia. When Haile was asked before every race if he will win the race... he will ALWAYS say....IT'S POSSIBLE. And he delivers. Gold after Gold. A record 27 times. What a legend. Long live Haile.
Bikila, Yifter, Gebreselassie, Bekele, Dibaba, Ayana -- man that is some elite list from Ethiopia. All legends of the track

"I don't see how you can not call Haile Gebreselassie the greatest distance runner of all time" - I felt so proud when he said that, I was moved.

What a legend. His name probably will always my first thought if somebody ask me about Ethiopia.
What a legend and what a beautiful story he inspires me I just love this guy
One of my heroes. Looked up to him and Abebe Bikila, growing up 🇪🇹 🦁✊🏾
Shamefully just heard abt Abebe recently..
He does not have a gap toothed smile. There’s no gaps between his teeth. He just has has a happy, beautiful smile. Sydney Olympics is my favorite Haile race.
The bottom teeth
Never knew he went on breaking marathon records almost a decade after Sydney. What a legend
The way he is always smiling is just uplifting to all.
Haile Gebrselassie will forever hold my respect 💎❤️🇪🇹 (3.9.20 08:45)

Haile was truly a great runner who showed how to come from the mid pack and use his his great finish and he also used his mental toughness to out-think his competitors.
So true!
What a wonderful soul. God Bless you Haile; you have inspired many.

i will never forget the big advertising that says"Yichalal",next to his picture around cherchel godana in Addis Abeba i hope that ad is still there beaCuse it gives energy to look at it while Haile is running on that picture

What he said about Kenya is true. The rivalry between the two nations is what made middle and long distance running very interesting and a must watch sports for both countries. Yes they need each other.
The 10k race in Sydney was like a scene from a movie

Bikila is another inspiration for us! Have you seen our video about him? ua-cam.com/video/ijk72IL6BDw/v-deo.html
