It's impossible not to feel uplifted when you see Haile's beaming smile. He always smiles, even after gruelling and punishing races.

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.
