Legend, is an overused word. But not in this case.

This man is the God of Running.....he is my favorite Olympic athlete.....!

@anksrulz He was disqualified from the race. It's kinda sad this is one of the things he's most known for because he was a pretty good runner. I mean, you have to be if you're fending off Haile. It must have been insanely disappointing to come that far and lose in the last few seconds, but in any sport it's important to not attach so much pride to an event. When I lose, I look at it as a learning experience and am humbled by my opponent's skill and determination.

@TheReptilianBrain I think that guy at 5.05 should be banned from running professionally, true what a disgrace!

[TheReptilianBrain]

@anksrulz Looks like the dude just punched him in the back of the neck! What a sore loser! A disgrace to runners!

[anksrulz]

what happened at 5:05, can someone tell me? I am confused, its not what i think it is?

3 people can't run 3 miles without having a heart attack. How could you dislike this?

[o0Rishay0o]

Haile, we believe in you. Win gold at 2012 Olympic marathon! .

@cas4mla121 goo for you

[ambrosialmien]

@lamrof Couldn't have worded it better. He is the essence of what can bring out the limitless potential in each of us.

[cas4mla121]

@campbpar ummm okay? you can call me all the names you want, you're still not answering the question. I'm not really that worked up, just curious, but if you don't want to answer that's fine.
