He absolutely deserves to go the Olympics. This would be his last good chance. Let's not forget we will get the match up between him and Kipchoge at last at the Marathon.

Kipchoge is done, And Kiptum the record holder tragically died in car accident. So Bekele has the best chance to win the Olympic if selected.

@peterlewis3540 3 ай бұрын

The Ethiopian team will only choose the very best athletes who stand a realistic chance of a medal. His impressive second place in the recent London marathon, considering he has now turned 40, was very incredible, but there are equally impressive, and far younger athletes, who probably deserve their first taste of Olympic glory. Also Bekele has never been a consistent marathoner, like Eliud Kipchoge Bekele has been to several Olympic games already, so i recon other runners will get chosen instead.

There was person thatbargued with me when Bekele ran a 2:06 Marathon. He said Bekele was finished. Where is the person now... I think Nike also though he is washed up. On this race, he says his lower back gave him problems towards the end. Bekele should and must be part of the Ethiopian team. He has outdone the younger guys. God bless you all and as usual have a blessed day.

@tomasmarambio1754 3 ай бұрын

hey @TRP, if Bekele and Kipchoge are selected, it would be cool to see if any other pair of athletes in history have raced in the olympics with a 20 year gap (5,000m 2004 & 2008, Marathon 2024). Even cooler, imagine medaling together with a 20 year gap. That probably has never happened in the history of the olympics (any individual sport). Love the channel!

Yes he is the greatest distance runner of all time so far. Ethopia should still select athletes who are the most likely to bring home medals and with their depth of athletes that's a tough call to make.

@David-ho1em 3 ай бұрын

Sisay, Bekele, Tola makes the most sense. It's crazy to think how Bekele's London performance would have been a NR for most countries and a WR in 2008. In the US, Ryan Hall is the same age as Bekele and ran his PB (just under 2:05) nearly a decade and half ago before giving up running.

If he and Kipchoge were racing over the last few miles in Paris, that would truly be a throwback. Then all we'd need is for Hicham El-Guerrouj to come out of retirement, train for a marathon, and run with Kipchoge and Bekele, and we'd have a rematch of the greatest ever mile runner vs the greatest ever 10k runner vs the greatest ever marathoner.

Get him to the Olympics, imagine the feelings he will experience being back on the world biggest stage where he dominated, this man has bigger goals than London marathon he wants gold medals and world records so he should absolutely be at 2024 Paris condsidering he's proven he is a 2:01 guy, recently consistent and possibly capable of a 2:0X even at his age.

He should be on the team with Tola and Geleta and yes they owe him this one to be fair. On merit, his pedigree is enough, but his '23 Valencia 2:04:19 and '24 London 2:04:14 times qualify him. He would have a chance to break Rotich's '21 Paris 2:04:21. He is indeed timeless.

Honestly - we shouldn’t be wondering if he can make this team, that should be automatic. Even as crazy as it sounds, if he keeps going sub 2:06-2:07, we may seriously be talking about him the 2028 team. If his motivation stays high it’s absolutely a real possibility. As for Tadese who hasn’t raced, that doesn’t strike me as injured, that strikes me as avoiding anti doping officials and is highly suspect.
