@YiftertheShifter1 holding any IAAF official record for a certified distance is much more impressive than an Olympic gold, a medal means you were the best in one race, a record means you're the best of all time. Plus, it's not like Hailes short on gold medals.
@thISxTHplacE Youre An Idiot, It Cleary Says This Is Bekele Running A World Record Time. The Previous World Record Was 4.52 By Geb. So How Can It Be A WR If Its Slower Than That. Also, Bekele's PB Is 4.49.99. Coincidence??
Anyone who comments on distance running videos saying the winners are on steroids is an idiot. This isn't sprinting, were only a select few runners will EVER be able to set a record, leading a few to try steroids. Anyone could set a distance record. These people have trained their whole lives, and they don't need steroids to be great.
P.S: These races are almost all cardio, so steroids wouldn't help anyway
@enderthegreat yes i have heard of epo. I didn't mean that steroids wouldn't help a runner, i meant that it would raise them to world record levels. Even with steroids, that requires years of training, and the fact that Bekele is fast doesn't prove that he's on steroids
@thecrudmeister you just said "it would raise them to world record levels" (referring to epo). if this is what epo does, then why WOULDN'T someone question someone great as bekele?
you also said anyone who claims that winners are on drugs is an idiot. i halfway agree with you, but on the other hand i can't help but wonder if the top runners in the world are doping. certain meets where world records are ran don't test for drugs...
no he just smashed the all time record and didnt do it again. Im saying simply sayin significantly less people care about the indoor track record than the overall record, so I just thought it would be better for him 2 step it up and take on El G's WR.
The Dream of eritreans are collectively competeing with their big and powerful neigbours Ethiopia . stupid shabians focus in yourself rather than looking up to ETHIOPIA
lol my cousin is ethiopian(oromo) and he runs for our highchool and he is the best of the best he beat the dirstict and state i think he is gonna get schorlaship//blah however u spell it bekele is his hero..
@idkwhattoput1233 What more must Bekele do to be the best? Bekele has broken Gebreselassie's records, duplicated his accomplishments at 10000m (4 WC, 2 Olympic golds), has golds in the olympics and WC at 5000m, which Geb never did, has more sub-13 min and sub- 12:50 clockings than anyone else, and to top it all off, he is the most decorated cross country runner in history with 6 long course, 5 short course, and a junior gold- Gebreselassie never one once. What more must Bekele do to be the best?
@driver6969 Since when has setting a marathon world record been instrumental to running all-time greatness? Holding the world record for an event like the marathon has never been a very prestigious accomplishment. Many of the greats (Nurmi to Viren, etc...) never achieved this. Olympic gold is a higher standard.
@YiftertheShifter1 well to ME it adds a lot to his level of greatness because he has proven to be a superstar not just in 5000m and 10000m but in very long distance running too. i'm sure bekele will move to marathon some day as well (and most likely do very well) but for now it's an unknown. perhaps we can say gebre is the greatest allrounder (for now) and bekele greatest lower long distances runner
@idkwhattoput1233 And I forgot also about his indoor 3000m gold- Geb's accomplishments indoors surpasses Bekele, but not by very much- his 2000m, 2 mile, and 5000m WRs all belong to Bekele. Gebreselassie, I will agree, is the GREATEST distance runner (if not Nurmi or Zatopek), but the BEST distance runner is Kenenisa Bekele.
@PhilomathBret can you do that though? i bet not its kind of hard to break a world record if you havent noticeed. just cause hes not sprinting (even though he is) doesnt mean its not hard
kenenisa is absolutly invincible. he has once again proved the saying "you can never know how far one person could go unless you try." a real CHAMPION
great performance, i love it! but its really far away (6 secondes) from the hicham el guerrouj's 2000m outdoor WR at 4m 44secs, technically hicham el guerrouj would have left bekele 50m clear, if they was on the same race.
theoretically speaking, runners tend to run faster outdoors that indoors, due to not only the longer track, but indoor tracks have highly banked bends, even world class sprinters have problems running indoors, unless you train indoors (which no one does) it would be nearly impossible to break or even equal an outdoor record indoors.

Kenenisa is a good friend of Mo Farah, who is originally from Somalia. Somalis and Ethiopians hate each other. This says a lot about Bekele's personality aside from his sensational running abilities on the track.
