  • To the ignorant: English is the most wide spoken foreign language in Ethiopia. There are a great incentives for Ethiopians to learn English. There is no reason for Americans to learn Amharic.

  • best interview ever.

  • Not as endearing a media darling as Haile, but Haile never had anything like 53 second last lap speed. =)

  • @knightsxc06 uhhh yeah he did

  • @xxxDAPROBLEMxxx : I love Haile to pieces and he is my favorite runner/human being, but really think Haile was a 55 second last lap guy. Would you cite me an example of Haile going sub 54 on a 10k? Yifter and Bekele are the 53 second guys, and I am absolutely in awe of Yifter's ability, because HIS 53 second lap would only start with 300 meters to go.... that and the fact that he was 35-40 years old! =)

  • @knightsxc06 I wouldn't doubt that he could. That wasn't his style though. Most of his races, he would sit behind the leader, almost tripping up on them because he wanted to go faster, until the last 150m. When he did lead, no one really pushed him to a 53. It's a lot easier to run a 53 in a 27:20 10k vs 26:40 10k. I can't think of a race where he started to kick at 450m to go like bekele and others seem to do today. He ran a 3:31 1500m which i think is 55 sec laps, so the reserve was there

  • By the by, Ethiopia's official language: Amharic. No reason he should speak proper English. Go be a classic ignorant American elsewhere. And 'emaades,' sorry to exploit your cunning comeback, but it's all too evident you've discovered Google translator.

    Room of idiots. A giant room of idiots.

  • As an unfortunate third revision, to flame123652, he should have "spoken" Habesha language to him. I find it pathetically ironic that we have a thread of people complaining about Bekele's English, while you bimbos can't speak it yourselves. Grow the hell up. As for 'mrembo87,' I'm inclined to rebut your wonderfully ethical position, but you're either just purposefully being an idiot to see how many hostile replies you can get, or you're literally too stupid to address.

  • trewae eka ata weyal

  • in poland cross country.silly ethiopian fucker.

  • sunshinexc Ethiopians are not in the same class with kenyans.yes thats because kenya won all 8 Gold medals individuals and all fucking teames titles.nani kama sisi????

  • SunshineXC, please leave my baibe, Mrembo87 alone. Don't you ever call her names again.

    As far as English goes, I admire Bekele. Ethiopians don't speak English but it seems he has used his time and money well to learn the business language.

    By the way, we just got another Beijing gold medal in the men's 1,500m after that cheat, Moroccan born Rashid Ramzi doped. We are now ahead of Jamaica. Kenya is the best of all developing countries. HOw about that! Huaaahhh! Heko kwa Asbel Kiprop!

  • mrembo87... why don't you try learning amharic?

  • mrembo87 you dumb fuck hes ethiopian not american, its actually amazing that he took time out of his busy schedule from shitting on everyone in the long distance races to learn a little bit of it so when someone interviews him for being so fucking incredible he can explain why hes so fucking incredible. this may come as a shock to u but not everyone in the world speaks english. also, ur comment is hardly readable you should brush up on your own english and typing skills, fucker.

  • He knows him right now and he knew how he would run during the race. He's really not that hard to understand. Have respect for the greatest runner of all time. Prime Haile is NOT better than him.

  • he should have "spoke" habesha language tyvm. And just wanted to note- you're a jack ass

  • kenenisa FUCKING bekele. this man is god in a pair of track spikes... a pair of sexy zoom victorys.

  • 4 golds 5 silvers 2 bronce enough said.4 golds from 4 different athletes.

  • are you going to run 5000? maybe funny answer. he is fooling kenyans to make them happy he is not coming to the 5000

  • How fast did you want to run run you run 57? funny question. Keninisa does not want to say 49 but he can run if necessery

  • Bekele kick them one by one

  • los corredores de fondo son gente de peso muy ligero practicamente vuelan no corren, a ver el que dijo GAY que se ponga a correr 1000 metros. Esto es de resistencia, fuerza y temple!. esto es producto de la naturaleza cuando los ethiopes y kenianos tienen que correr 5 a 6 KM diarios para hacer sus actividades porque no tienen medios de locomocion como las potencias, running unlimited!!!!!!

  • cual gay?, lo que pasa en que kenenisa tiene unos huevotes para correr, y es una verge bien parada par los 5 y 10 mil mts., entonces cual gay?

  • Dude, he's married and his former fiancee died in his arms. Not gay.

  • exolonionocleus you are an Idiot !!

  • Bekele u rock

  • If Bekele wins one more title, he will tie Sergey Bubka and Michael Johnson for the lead in individual gold medals @ world championship competition.

  • You are the best  Bekele , Congreatulation !

  • with only 18 years old samuel wanjiru is half marathon world record holder.and also amazing race in beijing with fastes time ever.he was only 21.

  • yes ethiopians are best in 10000m and 5000m.But should i say bekele and gebre?or may be should i say dibaba and her cousins deratu tulu,gate wami,bernea adere and all that?

  • kenya is best in marathon,road races and middles.thats why micah kogo was seventh in berlin in 10000m.But on road race hes farstes in the world in 10k.befor ur gebre a rive tergat was first ever to run marathon in 2hr 4 minutes.

  • yes Ethiopians are best in 5000m and 10000m.But is that why kenyan linet masai won in berlin?is that why kenya mens has won 3 tiltels in 10000m?is that why kenya mens has won 5000m 7 times?is that why chinis athlete hold record of 10000m women?

  • Comment removed

  • yes he can run better than a kenya in 10000m. in marathon we can possibly  kick hes ass.

  • if bekele run 5000m also it will be first gold medal ever for ethiopia since 1983.while kenya has won the past 7 times

  • Yes, never won gold in IAAF WC's but Kenenisa holds the WR time for that distance... and Kenyan just can't seem to make it happen when it comes to the Olympics... Ethiopians are the best on 5000m/10 000m.

  • well dont get me wrong.i mean hes english is funny its true.

  • am kenyan and i enjoy kenenisa english very funny.

  • Did you enjoy his talent .You know his good and he can run better than Kenyan even if hedon't speek fluant English.
