GEBRSELASSIE Y TERGAT. 10000 METROS SIDNEY 2000.

[1fastcubesolver]

great. now that he's won, can he go eat something?!?!

[SuperBeastinitup]

Great job making it epic, adding slow-motion and adding violin, while you are recording the TV with your handy-cam. fail.

[shellgrande]

Probably the best second place performance of all time.

[ChristianSouque]

Quand les princes d'Afrique rencontrent grande musique, c'est là beauté, majesté sereine, éblouissement tels les frissons du vent...

[sarogerable]

sorry tergat

[ethiomia]

One of the best! London olympic is calling Ethiopian runners.

[SonNative]

@ethiomia ,

London will be good. We (Kenyans) will be there too ethiomia.

[TheYosf1]

Probably the best 10k i ever saw and the highlight of the sydney olympic as a whole.

[choivictoryahoocom]

just beautiful all around.

[Undine1965]

Bravo por los Kenianos, pero mi héroe es Geb!

[MrPhilosophicalpanda]

My favorite part is when Gebrselassie and Tergat's strides sync together as Geb is passing him.

[rdaines1]

How do you dislike this, it's frickin just amazing!

[dreddlocked1]

I love track and field and I doubly love Kenyan athletes!! This race breaks my heart, but if anyone is to beat a Kenyan, I only wish that it is an Ethiopian!! Gebre and Bekele and other Ethiopians have made long distance fun to watch (not like the steeple chase where Kenyand will Gold, Silver and Bronze) :) Shout out to El Garrouje of Algeria (Google if youve never heard his name)

[mileman34]

@megaflex48 yeah well mine is 53 and still no one cares.

[megaflex48]

my resting heart rate is 56 and i'm 49 that's considered athletic. i wonder what there resting heart rate is, 35 bpm..lmao

[xroscountry91]

@megaflex48 I know an olympic marathoner whose heart rate was 33

[guspleite]

HAILE------------the best.

[daveisatrini]

The greatest ever............hail Haile.....!

[woodsa2010]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Benzema247]

Does Anyone Have The Link To This In Normal Motion Not Slow :P Thanks

[gravityandlevity]

I was hearing the "Chariots of Fire" music in my head throughout this entire video.

[razak76]

It's the best 10k finishing that I've ever seen. Simply amazing. Both of them.

[dsupermanb]

is this a 100 meter race? so carzy

[mfrizzle90]

@dsupermanb it is 100 100 meter races =] (10,000 meters)

[cdad81]

¿La música de quién es?

[supercoolrunnerdude]

beautiful

[TVathletic]

awesome run

[mtkppktm]

They are titans forever.

[idealgas]

Beautiful.

[l2gPillo]

Doesnt matter where they are from, just look this titans and this amazing finish! one of the best ever! this is one of the things thats make me love running :)

[acoti]

The synchronization from 1:15 to 1:20 is absolutely beautiful. Great video!

[olimpolais]

YOU SON OF A BITCH! AAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHH

[mavikings]

This big mouthed and small dicked ethios,

U think on the field you r better than Kenyans??. Go watch the last African championships, and if that doesn't show you how inferiour ur runners are compared to the miggty Kenyans then watch the World championships in Daegu..and don't forget to sing the Kenyan national anthem when u r done.

[Ethioness]

@mavikings Careful talking about dicks dude. How do you know?

[mavikings]

@Ethioness  dated a few of ur girls, n they were happy.....if u know what i mean

[MrAbeet77]

@mavikings You Fucken ugly chimp watch your filthy mouth. I wish you said that in front of Ethiopians he'll knock you out.

[ohorok2]

He runs faster after 10km than i run after 0km :))

[similarlysituated]

Mute the sound on this video and instead play the song "Demise Of Barbara, And The Return of Joe" starting at 2:15 into the song. That music fits perfectly for this video.

[Jasubakende]

Two of the best

[etiosoul]

there is no one like the Ethiopians:)

[xmediabox]

Paul and Haile this are the gretest Atlets all he time

[eljafigo]

True athletes!

[jugb2000]

Being kenyan it still hurts watching this video-yea i would say this is one of the best 10k races ever.

[SonNative]

Poetry in motion.

It is usually a very sad moment for me everytime I watch this video. On that fateful night in Sydney, I rose to congratulate my fellow countryman Tergat because he had 'finally beaten Geb' only to be shocked. Geb somehow found a way to beat him.

These two greats are the quintessence of athletics. Great stuff! Long live Ethiopia, long live Kenya!

[trovadorvitinho]

@SonNative espetacular eu sou dorio grande dosulbrasil jamais tinha ouvidoa dalar e grebressalasie . vejam meu blog vitorhugotrovador.blogspot.com

[kozmon0t]

@SonNative Tergat had already beaten him twice at xc worlds, which Gebresellasie never won.

[DragonBruceLee27]

one of the greatest races in history

[ralucagymnast]

Just doesnt get better than this does it?

[bobbyfearfactor]

This last 100 meters was ~11.5 seconds. Amazing. You can't ask for anything more from these two absolutely phenomenal athletes. Such a beautiful video and race.

[winiciuswpf]

Gerbselassie is the better fundist ever!!!

[tormentoxx]

Por Dios, la parte donde los dos corredores entran en "fase", con la misma velocidad y técnica. Es maravilloso *_*

[Gynecologist]

I don't understand why this isn't a Nike commercial!

[allheel]

@Gynecologist I'm guessing because the guy who won is wearing Adidas.

[huyiy]

@Gynecologist lmao are you being serious right now?

[runballer]

It looks all crazy when their strides are in sync.

[yorksingingsensation]

Puts my aim to break 40 minute 10k into perspective. Great motivator though

[pdanderson24]

For those 4 seconds 1:17 at when their strides are completely in sync... Bill Shakespeare couldn't write better poetry.

[NeilTheFerret1]

I'm an athletics fanatic but NEVER have I seen something like this !! just beyond comprehension, I cried.

[turniptod12]

running is such a beautiful game

[Serenadelmare]

Maravilloso!!! Alguien conoce la música?

[abel120606]

every time i feel down i watch this video to be motivated. what an amazing athlete they are both. Haile is just amazing.

[Oxygene1884]

Does anyone know the music?

Where can it be found?

thanks

[williamfrey5]

there so skinny

[dablacksquad]

@williamfrey5 smh durrr when your a track runner your supposed to be skinny makes sense

[atz123ify]

the 5 people who disliked this have never ran a day in their lives.

[kristianday11]

Its insane when you look at how little there heads move p and down. Almost as if they are sitting on wheels rather than legs

[AssHoleThunder]

who's idea was it to put this music on this video???? that person is a genius!

[aruuraa]

i can see the hard work in his eyes my god... i cant even understand all hes been through he ...is....the...best

[TheSwingingSword]

history was written on that day! will there ever be a race like that?

[Runningboss]

So awesome

[ToFinishFirst]

Tegrat was such a great Athlete



[tamrtaye]

@ToFinishFirst but Haile was better.

[ToFinishFirst]

@tamrtaye Yes he was I just hope that a competitor like tegrat will be remembered as one of the best runners ever. I consider halie the best.

[ralucagymnast]

There arent enough superlatives to describe this.

[scrumpymanjack]

This video annoys me so much. Coming round the last bend of the 10,000m is not a relaxing moment and it is certainly not soothing. So why the hell would anyone put this music to such an intense, lung-bursting pursuit? It makes NO sense at all.

[TheQuietObserver01]

@scrumpymanjack True! But because it's so calm and soothing, it serves as a perfect contrast to the physical strain and desperation those two are feeling at that moment. And at the same time, their stride is so perfect and smooth, much like the song as well

[AtlanticDoolin]

Watching this 2 old rivals running until their last breath brings tears to my eyes...

I wish they both had won the race!

[mailwriter19]

When i see them run., there strides are like a cheetah running for its life.They are FLYING.

[alisub]

wow great

[Mnandihalisi]

U guyz.....i am a Kenyan and it hurts so much to watch this video.Its a beautifullysad !!!!

Please check out my channel & ask me any questions that u may ahve on running may it be beginning, intervals, long runs, half-marathons, marathons or injuries. Feel free to ask me anything!

[siasabora]

classic moment

[Serenadelmare]

Maravilloso!!!Lo llevo viendo 10 veces ya...!

[Runaholism]

It takes me two strides to equal to their one stride.

[Compantino]

negrosssss

[liyha]

SO BEAUTIFUL

[liyha]

SOOOO BEAUTIFUL

[ap1234512]

poetry in motion, the greatest finish to any race ever. 

[minhhale]

0:54 damn, look at their face. what human spirit!

[AtvicentegL]

Gebre es un monstruo, lo mismo que tergat

[audieKool]

GEBRSELASSIE is a forefoot striker. That's part of why he's so fast!!!

[drunner78]

Gebre Unico!

[brendanmaz]

haile the great one

[klcrr]

how old is Haile in this video?

[mgljimcmgl]

@klcrr I think 28 more or less

[wojeb]

Human cheetahs!

[cfalberg]

makes me wanna go run a 10k

[aztecsouls1]

Awesome,masters of running,I like a lot this video.

[gsmokha]

Omg :)

[mouxtarGR]

Real Magic...

[yonatanalemayehu]

This is a natural born runner, our Identiy, Gebresselassie, Hayle.

A blessed runner of Ethiopian Hero.

[gebremarkos]

Ethiopia lezelalem tinur. Viva Haile

[NeilG42]

the winning margin is what you expect in100/200M not 10,0000 !!

[shewatabet]

Where is Tergat this days? I miss him! He was a great runner but can't beat my hero Haile! lol

I love them both they are true African champions! God Bless both of you wherever you are!

[Nafartroll]

Ederra, zinez.

[hich101]

2 legends

[cdf182]

un corazon de la puta madre...que pedazo de atleta papaaaaaaaa

[ermygang]

big up for kanyan and ethiopian its beautiful to watch dis video.

[TheDeribew]

More than a just endurance, a man born to win unconditionally!!

[kingmoraro]

great video, great atheletes. Both Geb and Tergat are great men and friends. Tergat won the 12 km cross country 5 times back to back and he is a legend in Kenya. He even went a head to compete in the cross country last year for hisKenya Airforce military team. what a high sense of discipline! God bless Geb, God bless Tergat for a great show in Sydney.

[CoachTracy209]

In slow motion you can see how Geb lands on the balls of his feet and never lands on his heels. This allowes him to keep his center of gravity in front of his hips. Cuts down the shock the legs absorb in running. It's one thing everyone can cut down on by running barefoot once in a while. When you run barefoot you move the weight over the hips or slightly in front which really makes for better mechanics. The africans are amazing

[FourSeasonRunner]

@CoachTracy209 no serious runner lands on their heels. Those nooby joggers who do aren't even runners. And these people are professionals they are supposed to know how to run.

[FourSeasonRunner]

@Darkdante44 you stupid cunt, I run marathon distance without landing on heels

[Darkdante44]

@FourSeasonRunner and i can run marathon distance without touching the ground, yea as long as it's a comment on youtube you nothing you say carry's weight

[FourSeasonRunner]

@Darkdante44 go ahead and land on your heels and destroy your knees, see if I give a fuck.

[FourSeasonRunner]

AMAZING VIDEO LOVE IT!!! YESSSSSSSSSS TH MUSIC KICKS ASS

[idkwhattoput1233]

Haile was injured and still beat Tergat. But Tergat was still an excellent athlete.

[Chocosizzles]

0:55-1:15

This shows the true pain on their faces. The pain at that moment in the race is so incredible that some people cannot comprehend it.

[FourSeasonRunner]

@Chocosizzles I know it's horrendous and the longer you go the stronger it gets and you always have this dilemma of running a bit faster or slowing down just a little bit to ease the pain.

[plaguw]

So much heart

[AK47like007]

This was the greatest race in history of 10k.

[jhonnyespanadique]

ETHIOPIAN AND KENYAN ATHLETES IS THE BEST;

[mikeplaysguitar22]

this is beautiful. also, the person who disliked the video has no soul.

[ianedwards19]

@mikeplaysguitar22  it was tergat lol jk

[jupitercrash077]

@mikeplaysguitar22 Maybe the person accidentally clicked the dislike button.

[Chocosizzles]

Haile's shorter legs and higher cadence helped him win! Nice!

[ianedwards19]

chills!!

[yabsera15]

hail is the best

[Woodeeeeeee191]

Such a happy chappy

[draqonofwhitestars]

everytime I watch this video I cry

[bodies42099]

@draqonofwhitestars c'mon man!

[goiter42]

I was there that night. It was one of the last events and many in the crowd had started to leave. I knew it was going to be a good race but I was not expecting it to be one of the greatest sporting events I have ever seen. His technique in the last 50 meters was flawless and that got him over the line.

[jaguar0277]

Esta a sido una de las mas hermosas finales de atletismo(10,000mts.) Con dos de los mejores corredores mundiales. El esfuerzo(el tiempo de preparaciòn) y la recompensa(es el triunfo). saludos.

[de5kmaultraman]

Si, el mejor de todos los tiempos.

[rumblefishyt]

What happens to Tergat just before the line? There is a moment when their strides are identical, it's beautiful, but then Tergat stumbles, his stride falters and Haile who maintains the fluidity continues on to win. It would have been amazing had they both crossed the line together.

[seposner]

this is a masterpiece. i have watched it a number of times and i am not getting bored. Just watching the emperor's perfect floating stride as well as the pain they are all enduring with each step is mind blowing.

[tomtomandmattshow]

randomness CHEESE

[dtrmnator]

nike vs. adidas

kenya vs. ethiopia

Tergat vs. Gebrselassie The ultimate rivals, probably the best set of rivals in track and field.

These guys are both amazing and both deserve golds, just one deserves a gold a little more than the other

[jupitercrash07]

Who is this music by?

[jramauri]

@jupitercrash07 Vivaldi. Is one of parts of "The Four Seasons", I just don't remember wich of them. I believe is the first part of autumn.

[kohpohwei]

@jupitercrash07 Vivaldi Winter Mvt 2: Largo

[danakaku]

Wow Haile, this is breath taking!!

[mooseman427]

that was beautiful
