Bekele wins with bloody foot from Universal Sports

[TheReptilianBrain]

When the zombie apocalypse comes to fruition, all the others will understand why we've made a hobby of running.

[eyobarefaine]

He must be running 14miles/hour! 

[lafq]

I have those spikes! :D



[ryanw1pool]

passing the lone white boy, just sad

[SONofEIRE1987]

@ryanw1pool the athlete you're talking about is japanese lol

[CutBakKid]

Can he beat Tyson Gay in the 100m?

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww -____- lol

[benberkovic]

@CutBakKid can tyson gay beat bekele in the 5000m?

hmmm... what comes now? ah, right! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW :o?)=_:;)? lol

[CutBakKid]

@benberkovic wow i forgot i commented on here..your super late.

whose bekele?

[benberkovic]

@CutBakKid the dude in this video that you're dissin... or did i misinterpret ya?

[heresjohnnnyy1]

@CutBakKid Im pretty sure Bekele would lose to Gay in the 100 meter as badly as Gay would lose to Bekele in the 5000 meter. At least bekele has some decent sprinting speed. Gay probably can't even break 15:30 in the 5000.

[CutBakKid]

@heresjohnnnyy1 yeah, and Bekele probably cant beat my little sister in the 100m

[XCisAwesome]

@CutBakKid Thats bullshit you're sister would get her pussy pounded in the 100m against Bekele. (she would get crushed). And heresjohnnnyy1 has a point because bekele has very good sprinting speed yet Tyson wouldn't even come within minutes of him in the 5k.

[track2996]

@heresjohnnnyy1 Tyson gay couldnt break 18 minutes in the 5k, dont be stupid. when youre 75% fast twitch muscles its literally biomechanically impossible to break 15:30

[MrShebaw]

The first African Olympic Gold Medal winner was Ethiopian. The current 5,000, 10,000 and Marathon world record owners are Ethiopian. So Ethiopia >> Kenya.

[burnit01]

DAmn this guy has the heart of the lion...Respect from CANADA....

[WillBackbone]

13:00 5,000 is slow.....

[MrTheonlycrack]

@WillBackbone

[TheSlurpeeCup]

[Adrian20092802]

That is iron man like a terminator,hihi

[markdj10025]

...trying to hold off...CHEVI

[tesfwu]

That is what Ethiopians are all about. Never give up and never accept 2nd. Kenenisa showed that.

[musiclover5327]

1:03 "two hinder meters"?

[kingalekag]

you idiot talking about Oromo Oromo Oromo, What is your point ??

stop dividing our country you stupid crap

If you don't want to be Ethiopian just leave wherever... but stop dragging others with you fool

[jemahika]

@ashley11231 I am proud Oromian at the same time Ethiopian, what is wrong to be loving to be what you truly are? If it is right for you to be called Ethiopian, why it is wrong to be called Oromian? Or isnt it possible to be what an Ethiopian without concealing ones identity? bom

[rblkass]

@jemahika where is Oromo-Africa, they're From Ethiopia bud, Get your facts straight

[dagmawigedion007]

[ghostlyredfox]

Bekele's Undefeated streak over 10,000m

[redsan305]

kenya is the best running nation and wil always be.. since osaka we have been great .and that is it.

[ashley11231]

@redsan305 that explains why u just lost....no offense.lol

[redsan305]

[kimani310]

@24chickenbutt Be specific .in womens race kenya was first .Ethiopia was first n Kenya 2nd in men race.Now go ahead n use or misuse the word always to ur advantage.

[bijection765]

I think Bekele's Undefeated streak over 10,000m is the most STAGGERING streak in all athletics.

When I see him win 10,000m gold in London 2012 I will never forget it!

[YiftertheShifter1]

@bijection765 I disagree. While Bekele's streak is very impressive, he has only ever raced the 10000m 12 times in his whole career. Emil Zatopek back in the 50s went undefeated in some 55 10000m races.

The most staggering streaks are, without a doubt, Edwin Moses' 122-win streak in the 400m hurdles or maybe Carl Lewis's 90-win streak in the Long Jump (a streak that ended ironically with his best set of jumps).

[kushlion]

I hate when abeshas with their dirty mouth. Bad mouth kenyans..Sigh give it a rest people its a sport. And fyi he is oromo ethiopian. I am from ethiopia but i dislike when people bad mouth kenya because thats my second home country.

[Josteindal94]

Bekele and Haile Gebrselassie are the best distance runners ever...

[Beastlierthanyou]

Not as bad as Prefontaine's bloody foot was ;)

[TheFirmest1]

and yet no endorsements wonder why that is.\

[467076]

These commentors are stupid bekele always looks back.

[MrMiddleDistance]

i got the spikes that bakele wore in this race. The Zoom Matumbos. Great shoes

[HouseofJello]

@MrMiddleDistance Bekele wears milers and victories

[467076]

"When you are a up-and-coming runner in the U.S., and making some breakthroughs in distances, Pre is still the man that you are compared to. It's always based on Pre."

[467076]

the only white guy who was running got overlapped

[matthewFP22]

sprints have come down to America vs Jamaica, i gess for distance its ethiopia vs kenya

[mrcatohead]

@matthewFP22 its not really america vs jamaica, its bolt vs gay vs powell atm in the short sprints, hes the only american really doing anything

[dazebhen1]

ethiopians are polite and hard working people love yall

[speedynat96]

i swear Ethiopians always beat Kenyans lol I've never heard a Kenyan athlete in the media as much as Ethiopians but i suppose they are great too. Great competition between them it's great to watch.

[International1ify]

Ethiopians are great. It is ridiculous to say that they are much greater than Kenyans however. Anyone watch the World Cross country championships? Kenyans swept.

[yrga1]

i love you bekele

[HouseofJello]

It's not Blisters. My victories did the exact same thing to me before i broke them in. there's something on the part where the laces are that digs into your toe when you push off, and he actually didn't get it that bad, my whole big toe was drenched in blood after one of my races.

[afrothuder]

Being fast is in his blood... he is Oromo

[mrcatohead]

i was expecting blood everywhere like in prefontaine, thats a couple of blisters that have started bleeding

[YiftertheShifter1]

You only saw the blood that seeped through the shoe; don't compare the greatest long distance runner of all time to someone like Pre.

[blaze222666]

this guy thinks hes steve prefontaine or something

[cwhatch1]

Sir he is way better than Prefontaine

[blaze222666]

i know, it was a joke. Seems like nobody really understood it. I guess it's hard to tell on a comment though. I'm a Pre fan, but I understand that he's not the fastest man, unlike most other fans.

[koreansx]

@cwhatch1 who knows? pre could've reached his goal time of 12:36 if he hadn't died at such a young age

[rutabega234]

@koreansx , pre was no where near that time.

[koreansx]

@rutabega234 yeah I know. his pr for 5k was 13:21. After the 1972 munich olympics, pre was in the prime of his career, setting American records in every race from 2000 to 10000m. he could've ran sub 13 at the montreal olympics, if he hadn't died at the age of 24.

[nirvanaadict]

at 2:02 look at the way he ties his spikes kinda weird but kinda cool

[WORLDBEATER22]

I noticed this too. Also, he uses the first 5 shoe lace holes and does not use the other(s).

[blaze222666]

what did he do? i dont see it.

[maninabuble]

he tucks them in so they dont flap

[delewareboy]

Pre ripoff.

[tyronecee]

you idiot..

[andykins118118]

the guy that finished second had some long ass legs

[nmac121]

thats a heart of a champ.

[BlueEliminator1]

Bekele had a hurt foot and he still won, LOL

[blah11blah]

Good runners come from Kenya, Ethiopia, and everywhere else in the world. Stop this stupid bickering about which country contains the best runners.

[ShikaiPB]

Africans war about to start between Kenya and Ethiopia =P

[chrisscross2000]

hey bekele is the best in histry no one can beat him he is my usain bolt

[Winston408]

He is great but in my own opinion gebre is the best.

[Cordeiro757]

Bekele, never beat Hicham El Guerrouj, in 1500 mtr or 5000 mtr. He is of course the best runner ever, but not invincible. Only yahmashita was!!!

[joeyyowee]

Bekele lost to El G in the 5000 m because of bad tactics. He waited until the end of the race to make his finishing kick but it was too late because El G had more foot speed. He should have made the entire race fast paced.

[Cordeiro757]

I agree totaly with you!!! As recorde holder, Bekele should have speed the race since the beginning! Waiting for the final 400 metres, was a big mistake. Bekele always be, the best runner ever, no matter where the race happen.

[mrembo87]

i love kenya.yes we are best.we dont depend on two guys.yes without dibaba and bekele you are dead.i mean your smelling rats Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

[samora445]

Kenyans, they don't run for Kenya. They run for money. Ethiopians are always proud of their country, b/c of being free through out history. I love Ethiopians.

[konjit94]

U kenyans can kiss my ass so shut up for ur own good.

[mrembo87]

the kenya runners who won golds in berlin are not the same runners who won in beijing .and who won golds memals in beijing are the the same runners who won golds in osaka 2007.and whyt a bout u ethiopins?only kenenisa since 2003.dibaba is also an old kago.since 2003 just shut up!!!!!shut up !!!!!!and shut up.never in amellion years you ethiopians can produse many runners like kenya.poor you.

[mrembo87]

how many great runners does kenya has in only marathon? more than 200 runners.thats why we won world cup in berlin without great names like samuel wanjiru martil lel and luke kibet the 2007 world champion.But we kiked ur pussy in both 10000m and 5000m,in the precents of defar melkamu and others.dibaba was also smoked by masai.shame on u 19 years old beat all of u in only year.

[WORLDBEATER22]

Even the best must lose some times to open up the competitiveness. sometimes it is just a bad day for the others, but then sometimes it is not and they lose anyway. Tactical is one thing but going for time is another. We have tactical, but now we must start seeing the very fast times do be truly better than the Ethiopians.

[mrembo87]

and dont be stupid ethiopians are pure black people.or because ur light skined thats why you thing you are special than kenyans ?LOL!!!!!!!! your puere ostrich blacks.your not only poor in produsing many runners but you are also poorest people in africa and world LOL.

[mrembo87]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaa that?south africa runners have kenyan coach.since 2008 no other countries in the wolrd can win gold or golds without either kenya coach or kenya runners.

[mrembo87]

its great to see that kenya is steel best after loosing many runners to other nation.kenya in berlin 2009 4 golds 5 silvers and 2 bronce.first in africa and 3 in the world.why a we talking about 4 golds?the winner of 1500 is puere kenya konchella.jamal got lucky gold.

[77KingZ77]

What abou South Africa? Malaudzi and Caster Semenya... Nuf said!!

[mrembo87]

nobody is jelouse.kenya is best.linet masai annd vivian cheruiyot in berlin 2009 championships.enough said.

[TakinFlightIn321]

i still like lagat better

[663945]

if there was any doubt in my mind that bekele isn't the greatest distance runner of our time, it's been eliminated

[Rasdashen1]

I didn't get it! What are you trying to say??

[Rasdashen1]

Fuck Kenyans!! I hate them. They look like grilled lobster set on table for meal. The Kenyan with their skiny legs running like ostrich with out wing. Oops! They lost!!

Shame on them even to think to beat an Ethiopian. An Ethiopian beat 14 black ostrich!! Kikikiki!

[ghbaby08]

dude, being racist against your neighbours only makes you look like a douchebag

[Rasdashen1]

Neighbour?? What you talking about? They are haters and jealous  of Ethiopia. If you don't believe me you can watch what they post in some sport websites. I just respond for what they wrote.

Anyway, you can lick their ass. But, leave me alone!!

[ghbaby08]

Wow, you're rude.

[addis11100]

you see the kenyan tactic was they are after him today first kike his foot and spike him until it blooded, than send three guys after him one by one for the last 200 meters they were close to beat him illegally.

[alysianejohnson]

He said "they were after him today"

[joeyyowee]

lol "they were AFTER HIM today"

[Hershey]

don't be so quick to jump into conclusions. He said "they were after him today"

[mrembo87]

2009 berlin 10000m women winner linet masai 19 year hold.5000m winner vivian cheruiyot secont silvia kibet bronce defar enough said.

[mrembo87]

[tebebemakonnen]

[kipyatorarapmakinyor]

Bekele is a reall man, AK should stop corruption on selectin the athletes..we have young energetic men to fight Bekele..Kipla aende home

[MEMIN6609LAPI]

Galen Rupp and his friends as the only established players Africans

[jvali10]

[TheHeylen]

mrembo87 who u tryin to convince...you're tryin too hard!

[jtrisballin]

im sorry but was he wearing victories????

[PickledHarrrington]

Tactical running is one thing, but that's just messed up.

[mrembo87]

kenya need to drop out for 2 or 3 olympics befor our rivals catch up with them in medals.but too bad we will always win we can never stop.

[mrembo87]

KENYA forever.kenya dont beat only africans countries but also beat big nations like russia,great britania and others like they did in osaka yeah.icant remember any other africa country doing that exept kenyans because they are best.

[906helena]

Did you read your comment b4 you posted it? 15 of your kenyan boys were beaten by 1 ethiopian.

[BiniamBarcelona]

Kenya and Ethiopia are the 2 top nations in the world when it comes to Long distance running so u shouldn't say kenya only

[mrembo87]

world champions since 1983 to 2007 kenya 75 .olympics since 1964 to 2008 kenya 72 medals.a country with only 37 millions people .but very strong and king of africa in this sport.

[konjit94]

we ethiopians kan kick kenyans ass with no legs

[killerxela]

@konjit94 not in the 800m ;)

[mrembo87]

2007 osaka champions 13 medals from 13 athletes 5 of them golds enough said. 2008 Beijing 14 medals from 14 different athletes 6 of them golds enough.2009 Bressanone italy world youth championships 14 medals from 14 different athletes 6 of them golds enough.this is exactly what is called talent and best.

[mrembo87]

totaly agree no one can beat bekele and thats because all best kenya mens are running marathons.beijing 14 medals from 14 different athletes 6 of them golds enough said.bressanone italy 14 medals from toping the medal up enough said.

[Denvr07]

no one can beat bekele! too damn good

[jerquie]

why are you commenting about sprinting when this is clearly a distance video gets your races straight..and as far as jamica being faster than the u.s. goes.all the u.s. has is tyson gay no other american is a major 100m contender on the world stage.but jamica has usain,asfa,nesta carter and michael fraiter...thats why they have the fastest relay team in the world and in history(37.10 4x100m relay world record).so its safe to say that the top jamican sprinters are faster than the top americans.

[redsan305]

boit of jamaica is the best sprinter in the morment but that does not mean all jamaicans are better than usa.

[pajamadude15]

Kenya might have more strong runners but Kenenisa Bekele is the best

[AK47like007]

@pajamadude15 not anymore he just got nailed by lagat

[cicirunner]

@AK47like007 In what race? I don't have cable in my new place yet lol

[AK47like007]

@cicirunner . search " Lagat Outkick Bekele" on youtube.you will find them doing it .

[mrembo87]

no body is jelouse hier. am talking a bout the truth.kenya forever.

[mrembo87]

what is enough said

[leafers42]

Gebreselassie....enough said.

[redsan305]

a part from cities marathons whitch belongs to us. 2009 Bressanone italy world juniour champions see us fucking ur ethiopians juniour asses too.

[redsan305]

kenya medals in olympics since 1964 to 2008: 75 medals.Ethiopia 38 medals what a gap.kenya medals in world champions since 1983 to 2007.72 medals ethiopia 41 medals what a gap again.

[redsan305]

2008 beijing olympics 14 medals for kenya from 14 different athletes. six of them Golds. what a bout you? 7 medals from who 5 athletes?4 golds from 2 athletes? LOL!!!!!!!.poor Ethiopians.

[blackback7]

jealous??

[kingAbraha]

brush ur brain man.

[luca71090]

Bekele the number one!!!

[slewicide9]

Kenenisa Bekele in this race beat Abraham Chebii who has the fastest closing speed of anyone in the history of distance running. All while running with a bloody foot. Thats talent!

[dgnellyg]

Bekele's reign is past its peak, now there's nowhere else to go but down and eventually try out something different like the marathon which might be tougher coz of his muscular built.Nonetheless, he is still a talented athlete.Kenya will come back and reclaim its spot in the 5k and 10k.

[wallasky]

Bekele is not only the reigning Olympic and World Championships gold medalist, he holds the current world records in the 5,000 and 10,000 meter runs, with clockings of 12:37 and 26:17, respectively. That's why everyone from Kenya wants to beat him.

[mrembo87]

kenenisa being the best does not mean all ethiopians are best.he may be best runner, but in general kenya is best.we are ruling in medals.

[mrembo87]

dont talk trush about kenya.we are ruling in medals and you cant even come closer untill we skip maybe 2 or 3 world champions.we always fuck your asses in marathon and in middle distances

[wojeb]

Chill out, it is just a sport. No AK-47 involved. Ok!

[wallasky]

They all want to beat the best, the Olympic and World Championships gold medalist. This will continue until they do beat him

[Raimakusa]

Never seen Bekele look back THAT much. Don't think I've ever seen anyone look back that much.

[PetrosWelday]

kenenisa always does that he does dat to taunt them that affects the other runners mentally cause he looks back at them while there trying there hardest to catch him

[zamundaprinz]

kenya itiyopia, whatever

harambe africa.----

kenny is great- a predator

david alem

[filfilu]

i agree & am with u zamundaprinz

all victories goes to an African credit

[mamowolde]
