yeah they can run and set world records and are pretty impressive although i'd rather have a more "chunky" body and fitness weight than paul tergat or other kenyan runners, anyway that's only a personal opinion
Si,hubiera sido lindo un final así con gebrselassie, lastima que nunca se encontraron de esta forma en un maraton,y cuando corrieron juntos haile se quedaba.
Mas que Bekele, me parece más probable Wanjiru de ser el más rapido, pero compitiendo contra los mejores y no solo mirando el reloj.
Tergat is fantastic but inconsistent. Give some credit to Sammy Korir who puts in some amazing performances but fails to win many. This is because he never shirks racing against the best.
Tergat never races soft fields either and wrecks himself many times too.
Check out Christopher Cheboiboch, an unsung big field race too. These three epitomise Kenyan marathoners.
Are you kidding me? Paul Tergat is, without any shadow of a doubt, one of Kenya's most consistent runners (as the narrator introduced him in "Track Wars: Kenya vs. Ethiopia). Five Cross Country titles, two road titles, a bunch of silvers on the track (behind Gebre every time), WR at 10000, 20K/ half marathon, and marathon. What inconsistency do you speak of?
uno de los duelos mas impresionantes en la historia del maraton, ademas ellos dos fueron los primeros seres humanos en bajar las 2 horas 5 minutos, la diferencia fue de un segundo, bueno, ya haile abajo los 4 minutos en berlin, supero su record del 2007, si bekele continua asi, ya que es mas rapido que haile, superara el record de haile, todavia faltan muchos años, cuando bekele empiese a salir de los 10 mil metros, andres de venezuela
"I really wanted to do this record but I was a little bit worried about it, worried about attacking my friend's record," said Gebrselassie, 34, who fell 61 seconds short a year ago in Berlin in his first attempt to break Tergat's mark of 2:04.55.
"I think Paul understands that. I talked to him and said 'Hi, Paul, I'm sorry.' I said 'You can come here and try to get it back again next year'."

That's all what matters. Congratulations and thanks for both!
Tergat would have none of it, telling Gebrselassie he was delighted for him.
"I am sorry -- this record belonged to Paul Tergat," Gebrselassie told a news conference when asked about the phone call. "Paul is my friend."
Gebrselassie tried to tell Tergat he thought he had better weather conditions this year compared to 2003, when it was sunnier and warmer, although there was less wind. But Tergat responded that records were meant to be broken.
BERLIN -- Less than 10 minutes after breaking the world marathon record on Sunday, Ethiopia's Haile Gebrselassie was handed a cell phone -- it was Paul Tergat calling from Kenya to offer his congratulations.
"I'm sorry," Gebrselassie told his great rival and long-time friend after winning the Berlin marathon in two hours, four minutes and 26 seconds, shattering by 29 seconds Tergat's record set on the same course in 2003.
"Tergat calls to offer congratulations, Gebrselassie apologises
Shortly after Gebrselassie crossed the finish line, race director Mark Milde's phone rang. Tergat was on the line, and he wanted to congratulate Haile. "Paul is a good friend and I apologized to him for taking his World record," Gebrselassie explained."
