Haile is a legend,, we have so much respect for him. From Morocco 🇲🇦.

I have much Respect for this man. from a humble beginning to such a great achievement, yet he is still Humble..

Haile has all the wonderful human emotions kicking inside him and life is all about the good human emotions. Its about humbleness, hard-work, ambition, commitment, integrity, compassion, service, honesty, competitiveness, generosity, love of country, love of God, love of children. Its automatic, yes it is automatic if we don't have these inside us what we have is the opposing bad emotions like arrogance, selfishness, rudeness, being hypocritical, faithlessness, lying, lazyness and cheating.

🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 Ethiopia Love you

and he does it! Marathon champion of all time! Also a champion of humanity. Western athletes may not want to be role models but what an opportunity missed. Thank you Haile for taking the opportunity, truly an amazing person.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that when you include road records and "unofficial" distances such as the 2 mile, Haile has something like 28/29 world bests which would stand as a world record for world records...the man truly is the greatest. Zatopek, El G, Coe and the rest: NONE can hold a candle to the Emperor's range and longevity. RUN FOREVER HAILE!

Wow. What a nice man. True hero.

Haile is a wonderful guy.

Phenomenal athlete - running when he was young and went to school helped him a lot today

man thanks for this video its reminded me where am from and where i want to be

Haile is such an inspiration to all of us. Its good to know there are still ppl in this world that are so genuine and humble. God bless.

I almost forgot about his indoor 1500/ 3000 titles as well; to show such versatility is very unique to Gebreselassie (having world title at 1500m and 10000m at the same time!). In fact, he has a world record/ best or world title at every major distance from 1500m to the marathon... still believe Komen's the best?

My hero😊❤❤❤

Legend!

such an inspirational guy

My inspiration!

Emperor!!

Awww love him:) He is a beautiful human being in every way:)

This man is greater any soccer player on this earth.

he is my idol. the best runner in the world

i am happy for this guy. proud to have him

I like too much that is his smile

I will see him sunday in berlin and I'm looking forward to it. a very nice person: succesfull but not arrogant.

If he had carried his books with his right arm he probably wouldn't have been as good as he was on the track. When going around the turns your right arm is used more than your left. The sneaky bastard probably planned it like that.

He is something! he is love!

Haile sos el mejor Maestro Capoooo terrible el mejor de todos los tiemposssssssssssssss lejossssss

this guys is really awesome may God bless him more.=] did anyone else notice that he said that he would run with out shoes?=]

Wowowow Wowowow i love Ethiopia very much😍😍😍👌👍👍👍

This is too much. I am crying.

Not all great emperors rule with autocracy and iron fists

running double's does amazing things for fitnes

Fabuloso plusmarquista mundial. Posee marcas de leyenda. No me extraña que en España le vayan a conceder el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de los Deportes.

how can I find the movie about his life?!...please tell me!

@malaika1987 , Yep for KENYANS!!! I agree:-)

Crazyyyyyyyyy!!! this guy is just unreal...those who run knows how fast and how hard(almost impossible) its to keep the pace that made him get the record of the fastest marathon ever 2h03.59....INSANE!!!!! =D

He's immortal. He's ghost from the sky. It's immposible - he cannot be human :)

Even though I am an Ethiopian who is a big fan of Haile, I did not know that he Speaks good English.

HE is such an awsome person in general.. I don't even like sports that much, but watching his commitment and background really shows that there is more to it,than just moving a few muscles. It's sad that he didn't get anything this time..but he held up pretty well! Congrats to him anyways

i've really notice that people who come from bad lives mostly achieve to most.

dang.... if this guy ran 10k to school every day and back home that'd be roughly between 35 and 45 thousand miles by the time this guy was 20... that is incredible.

hes cool like miles davis. No one a f*ck with this guy. hes too cool

HAhaa did he said "Fuck" please watch 3:49

can you imagine a footballer giving back to something to society?

it must be hard for him to not be cocky haha

hahahaha, i loved it. yaa it is touching what a strong sprit he have? but belive me this doent help him to join heaven.

be like the the others....NEVER

everyman thinks his burden is heaviest

10k to and from school.... lot of running.

Sadly, that's not necessarily true at all. I wish it was.

No he isn t

Komen has zero olympic medals, one world gold (5000m), and six world record/ bests to his name; his time in the spotlight was 1996-1998 before he "disappeared." Gebreselassie has two olympic golds, four world titles, as well as two silvers and a bronze, twenty six world records and has been achieving unbelievable feats to this day, 1993-2009. There is no denying that while Komen was fantastic (for some time), the greatest distance runner of all time is Haile Gebreselassie.
