He's also world champion and olympic champion on 5000 meters. And he have the olympic records on both 5000 and 10.000 meters, and the ethiopian record on marathon. Haile is a legend and a super athlete, but in my book Kenenisa is one step further up. The greatest.
Do you know Carlos Lopes a former portuguese runner? He won major titles in track, cross country and road, the only one till now, in atheletics history to do so! ... As soon as bekele wins an olimpic marathon or a marathon world champion then he will became the greatest of all times! Say no more!!!!
I love Bekele. I am sure he must have been a bit miffed he missed the WR by 5 seconds! This is still the 2nd fastest marathon of all time, plus he still owns the 5k and 10k world records from way back in 2004, 2005! Clearly the greatest distance runner of all time.
What a smile of Wilsom Kipsang, he just got defeated after leading the entire race. However, he smiled at the finish line and happily congratulated Bekele. He seems like a really nice guy.
You can see most of the time Bekele races against time, his aim was the World Record that he even felt disappointed despite winning after running the 2nd fastest Marathon time. I think he will break the WR if he can avoid injuries.
@@gaborb7468 In fact Kipchoge has raised the bar way high up and I have a feeling that it is past Bekele now. If Kipchoge pulls off a sub 2 hour at the Ineos 1:59 later this year it will take an exceptionally special effort to beat that.
He almost did yesterday, 29th September 2019. without the muscular problems and in dryer conditions with more grip on the street, he would have broken Kipchoges record.
I think it will be very hard for bekele to get the world record. Kipchoge has more experience running at such fast paces and is consistent. He is also used to surging during the last parts of the race. But for bekele, he is very patient and is very good at racing. He also catches people from way behind and has a strong kick. But if they both go against each other. I think bekele will beat kipchoge by just a little in the final stretch
Actually yes there is a big difference in body shape, more globally between kenyans and ethiopians. If you look at Lemma, the other top ethiopian athlete we see at begining of the video, he has same legs as Bekele.
@@mwafrikahalisi2549 it's about tribes .Those with thin legs are Kalenjins from Kenya and Uganda.victor wanyama is Luhya mostly known for rugby and football because of their strength and they eat a lot 🤣🤣🤣Rudisha is masaai that gives you the answer
I think there is something wrong with the timer. As soon as Kenenisa Bekele finished, at 18:43 of the video clip, his time is 2:02:59. That is what is displayed on the watch board above. But his time is officially recorded as 2:03:04. Something is not right here. That is a 5 seconds delay, and for a runner that is big.
Man I love Bekele's super high butt kick. Incredible form! If only Bekele and Kipchoge went head to head. Two of the most beautiful runnning forms ever.
Bekele is cursed he has missed the world record by 5 seconds in this race and then in 2019 Berlin Marathon he missed kipchoges mark by 2 devasting seconds and went 2:01.41
Because their official time begins and ends the moment the runner's cross the starting line and ends the moment they cross the finish regardless of what the time says. They have timing devices on their shoes typically that record when they actually start and finish. So Bekele's official time was indeed 2:03:04.
The race could have gone either way. Kipsang was like less than 10 seconds behind. Yes Bekele missed the world record by what 5 second or so but had not Kipsang pushed him he wouldn't have even gotten that close.
nubman0 lmao you are as stupid as the original commenter, ugly body? Wtf nobody really cares about body type except you fools, winning is the only thing, I don't even care he is a skeleton or a 500 pound hippo, you know you spend too much time on Victoria's Secret videos when you start criticizing athlete's body type.
jetman189 Yeah, that's pretty silly. He's a beautiful athlete. Joan Benoit had a mesomorph body type and still won the '84 Olympics. It depends entirely on the individual athlete.
If he is fully fit, Kenenisa Bekele is a real nightmare. He uses a knockout surge that takes the steam out of runners after which he simply sprints to the finish line unchallenged.
All of these elite marathoners are just awe-inspiring, to me; to think the "slowest"🐢 probably runs around a 2:10!😃 Hmmm...the commentators make me want to learn German! I think I could learn it in one year.🤔👨🏼🏫👨🏽💻
I get chills watching Bekele...the most beautifully efficient form...and a bad ass mental runner.
Look at kipchoge a nice form as well
Its Simon
Nah, kenenisa is way better than him
@@proudamhara6491 you mean from technique or speed?
Its Simon
Everything
@@proudamhara6491 speed is clearly kipchoge
Man, Kipsang is gorgeous to watch, just poetry in motion. Not only that, but he seems to have genuine sportsmanship.
He's a really nice and down to earth guy too, met him at a marathon a few years ago.
I know right. He's runnimg form is very pleasant to watch
The incredible Kenenisa Bekele. The greatest distance runner ever!
Haile is the greatest.Sorry,J think so.

Haile Geb was the greatest. but bekele a close second.
moodlemech Kipchoge is the greatest marathon runner, though.

Tihut Temari when kipsang crosses at 2:03.07 it showed his time as 2:03.13 so the timer on the wall must be off

Running fast non-stop for more than two hours, these guys are superhuman!!!

Damn amazing
They had the option of running for a shorter period😂
East African for you
Am Kenyan but I must admit I have nothing but respect for this Bekele guy. But on this race am sure he must have agreed was the toughest.
I really love his running poise
Greetings from Ethiopia! 🇰🇪 Kenya and Ethiopia 🇪🇹 produced several world class greatest distance runners! Kenyans have the edge tho, I admit!
@@EthioChrisy but we are loosing it please remember our corrupt everything in your prayers🙏
Man I love Bekele's super high butt kick. Incredible form! If only Bekele and Kipchoge went head to head. Two of the most beautiful runnning forms ever.
Kipsang's style of running looks so natural. Love it.
What impresses me the most about Bekele is his longevity. He was 34 yrs old in this race.
X x and now at age of 37 he run second fastest marathon ever 2.01.41
Both the runners are the Legend but i love bekele
The Legend
Kenenisa Bekele Best runner, humble and his approach is unique in sport history I love him really really. Just wow
Bekele wanted that so bad, u can see in the finish replay at the end, can't wait to see this years showdown between these two and kipchoge
How comes no non-melanin so called white people running??
They play soccer and win there :-)
An Australian white white boy, white as paper, smoked Feyisa Lelisa in this year's great north run. Just so you know.
James Ambrocio he was from New Zealand but true lmfao
Where is that non melanin white boy in BERLIN MARATHON??? Great North Run is WHAT?????
Es increíble la forma en que Bekele consiguió la victoria.
Bekele is cursed he has missed the world record by 5 seconds in this race and then in 2019 Berlin Marathon he missed kipchoges mark by 2 devasting seconds and went 2:01.41

he past his best long time ago,and still he can manage to beat everyone else except kipchoge #bekekeistheGoat

Corrida muito forte. Dois atletas incríveis. Mas O Respeito de Kipsang é Admirável.
Looks like that big guy on the mountain bike is Jan Ullrich
Why does it show Kipsang 0:01 behind Bekele at 14:00, when clearly Kipsang crossed the checkpoint first?
Does anyone know why Bekele’s official time was 2:03:04? It looked like sub 2:03 to me when he crossed the line.
Because their official time begins and ends the moment the runner's cross the starting line and ends the moment they cross the finish regardless of what the time says. They have timing devices on their shoes typically that record when they actually start and finish. So Bekele's official time was indeed 2:03:04.
Super runner 🤔the one who keep running races over all ages and no stop till in oldest age category😊
Evans chebet was a learner here... Finishing third..m right now he is one of the hard to beat... Success takes time.

Yes. With training.

Bekele doesn't have to be a skeleton to win a marathon, his body is lean and not skinny, for a marathoner.
