@@ericmaldonado-avendano705 I wouldn’t say top two. Farah was a double Olympic champion but only had I believe 2 world records. Haile Would have had a field day with him in his prime. 27 world records. Just saying that yeah Mo-farah is definitely one of the fastest but because someone recently broke the 5k time and 10k track world records. Farahs 5k is ranked 41th place. While Bekele is 2nd and Haile is 3rd place. Mo-Farah 10k time is ranked 18th place. While Bekele is 2nd and Haile is 3rd fastest of all time. Mo-Farah is a top of all time but I definitely wouldn’t classify him top 5.

Good run down by Mo but you could tell at the end that Bekele was actually just relaxing until he saw that he had to run harder and he just started smiling because he knew he could just take off whenever he wanted. He is the king. Mo had a great track career but he will never be as great as Bekele. And Haile put in a good run for being so much older than these guys. What a field. And the women's race had Defar and Dibaba behind Jeptoo. Pretty start studded event.

A team effort - Haile takes the sting out of Farah with a 4.21 mile while Bekele rests for 30min. Then Bekele breaks on a downhill where he excels - no braking in his style. As Bekele surges, Haile slows Mo and then steps aside to remove wind shelter for Farah. In the last 400, Bekele just accelerates to the same pace and as Farah gets to his shoulder, he kicks again for a comfortable perfect win. Mo's close on Kenenisa is amazing, but the true test is the World XC, Bekele 5 x in a row, Mo = 0

@pukulu8 жыл бұрын
I've seen Bekele in maybe 20 different races. It's clear that he's roughly half an inch shorter than Haile Gebrselassie, who is between 5'5" and 5'6". I've seen Bekele standing next to Eliud Kipchoge, and Bekele is shorter by over an inch, close to 2 inches. Bekele is a little bit taller than the great half marathoner Zersenay Tadese, who is around 5'3". So Bekele is between 5'4" and 5'6" for sure, with 5'5" a good round number estimate.
@aarontewelde35778 жыл бұрын
