Kenenisa Bekele's distance running career is perhaps the greatest in history. With his 23 Olympic, World Championship and World Cross Country medals, Bekele is clearly in a league of his own.
Unfortunately, form 2017 - 2018, Bekele had multiple problems with is marathon career. With 3 racing failures and various leg and hip injuries, Bekele's distance running future seemed like it might be over.
However on September 29, 2019, Bekele ran one of the greatest marathons in history with his 2:01:41 performance. This time put Bekele only 2 seconds behind the Great Eliud Kipchoge who ran a 2:01:39 just one year earlier.
This marathon was absolutely incredible as countless fans throughout the world were shocked with this fantastic time.
Do you think this is the greatest marathon comeback in history?
We sure do.
Thanks for watching!

Bekele may not be as well spoken as Kipchoge but the fact that he has endured through all his adversities in the past decade and still not given up say a lot about the weight of his character. I have always considered him the GOAT but my admiration for his mindset is now even greater than my admiration for his accomplishments

There's Paul Tergat, Haile Gebrselassie, and a few other select athletes, who have achieved just as much in their career, as Bekele, yet they finished their careers at the top, retiring competitively when they were at the top of their game. Kenenisa Bekele has had a very up and down marathon career, being overshadowed by Eliud Kipchoge, so he cannot be looked at the greatest in his sport of athletics.

Very interesting video! In some sense Kipchoge's story is simple: his whole life is running. Live simple, train hard. Bekele runs, and runs ...... a f*cking hotel (among multiple businesses). I would get it if he did that after retiring, but he's doing both at the same time, while maintaining world-class fitness and almost breaking the "untouchable" marathon world record. Such a unique individual!

GoldenBoy if you watched the video, Bekele was quite involved in his business dealings, and ate a lot of hotel food instead of following a diet. The business distractions definitely bothered him too. That’s why when he moved to Netherlands and away from business distractions he got back into top form.

@@goldenboyi1989 in all respect, I don't think you truly understand marathon training at the highest level. It's not as easy as "just running for a couple hours a day." It's a full time job, with no breaks. Just being on your feet for just a couple more hours a day can lead to injury. You have to rest the body, mind, and soul. Stress destroys even the greatest of buildings.

I have great respect for Kipchoge but in my personal opinion, Kipchoge and Bekele are not in the same league when they were both in their primes when competing in the 5k and 10k track. Yes, Kipchoge has also won Bekele before in track events but those were occasional wins. Bekele almost totally vanquished every elite athlete in 5k and 10k in his prime, including defeating Kipchoge many times. I have never stopped believing in Kenenisa Bekele from the time he made his marathon debut until today even though he could not complete a few marathons. I still believe that this is the man who will hold the World’s marathon record, just like his 5k and 10k.

Great report! Despite some misconception, running is not about health and looks (rather side effects of consistent training), it's about pain, doubts, suffering and overcoming yourself. Therefore, the factors of greatness are: natural talent, mental toughness and balance, efficiency, motivation, consistency, drive to improve and win, and luck..

Ever since I was a small toddler, I saw Bekele run once in 2007, and he was way ahead of everybody else at all times. Ever since then, he has always been my idol, even now. He is one of the reasons why I run at all and because of that, my life is so much better off than what it could've been. Bekele will always be in our hearts even after he loses the "elite runner" title when he's like 60.

There's Tokyo in august, if they race it not sure any will be in Berlin only 1 month after... And JO race is always tactical, they run 1st half too "slow" to chase WR (look Rio, slowest race ever for Kipchoge, still gold medal). Reasin in Rio, or Doha for World Champ was heat and moisture, Tokyo will be with same heat problem. They need colder air to run fast, that's why usually central England early april or central Germany late september Germany are ideal for perfect temperature 😉

Bekele himself in nN documentary says he was very disappointed not to break the world record. 2 seconds was " nothing" as you put it. Problems seems that early in the race people went out too fast so teamwork insofar as it exists for bekele wasn't there. Compare that to Kipchoge's WR race. This was a very interesting profile thank you very much

Watch the race again at 35km Bekele ran a unnecessary curve around the 2nd place runner. That cost him the record

4 Olympic medals, 7 World Championship medals, and 12 Cross Country medals is "...a total very few can match"? Who else has, or will ever, match that? The Cross County golds alone make his accomplishments during that period completely unparalleled.

It’s silly but I keep thinking about if only he had run two seconds faster, the world would be a little more beautifully perfect, but for all practical purposes, that imagined world is hardly any different from the real world that intrigues us with its imperfection.

You know it was his mistake in that race that cost him the world record. He ran a few extra meters when he did a big curve around the 2nd place runner at around 35km

On my opinion, Kenenisa Bekele and Eliud Kipchoge need to Race in one of the Marathon so we can prove the world marathon record of under 2hrs. Thanks

It’s an interesting contrast how the elite Kenyans live like monks in spartan training camps and Bekele lived in his hotel and had to move to the Netherlands find discipline.
