Morocco VS Kenya and Ethiopia

I quickly made this video as a response to a discussion on YouTube arguing about which nation is the best in long distance running
I only used videos that I found on YouTube I couldn't find some other duels (Limo vs Hissou in WCH 95 for example or Boutayeb vs Moses Tanui and Kimeli in 88 Olympics)
it's just for fun though nothing really serious

PS: Thanks to all those who upload and share race videos from World Champs and Olympics!!

Bajdoub,

What's your opinion on the just concluded world cross country championship in Bydgoszcz, Poland?

Kenya decimated the world. If this doesn't tell you that we are the best, nothing will.

We scooped 8 gold medals out of a possible 8.

We don't talk much. We just do it. Even Nike, our kit sponsors knows it.

[bajdoub]

Yes of course Kenya was the best. However Morocco is almost same level as Ethiopia this year in men's senior team.

SonNative.

I agree with a lot of ur points. however, the purpose of this video is for me moroccan to be proud of my country and its great runners. if i were kenyan or ethiopian i would have made a video about kenya or ethiopia,. and i agree for osaka, beijing, berlin morocco is having a hard time getting medals, but i hope it will get better soon. for me morocco is still the best at middle distance running, we have the two best middle distance runners of all time : aouita and el g

@hich101, @bajdoub, I hope you guys watched 2011 Virgin london Marathon. Baraoumdane (sp) and Gharib did reasonably well but truth be told, we (Kenyans) are with it (for both boys and gals).

What say you?

[hich101]

@bajdoub dont forget to root on gharib this sunday at the 2011 london marathon..Viva Maroc..watch it live on the web 0900 EST in USA this Sunday 4/16/11

That chicago marathon had to be the closest marathon finish in history... how did they even call that race?? There was maybe a thousandth of a second between them!

I'm from Morocco and I have to say that Kenya and Ethiopia have world class athletes. I'm as proud of them as I am proud of Morocco. Long Live Africa!!!

and also 5k its kenya mens vs ethiopians chicks.kenya mens won 7 tiles and ethiopia chicks 3 times in the world championships. kenenisa was the first ethiopian to win 5k while kenya queen vivian cheruiyot becomes the first kenyan woman to win 5k nuff said. Ethiopians are only great at 10 both mens and womens.

[mrembo87]

mrmiddleDistance .we are talking about all distances event.not only 10k and 5k. but also marathon, road races, cross country and half marathon. kenya has more city marathons that ethiopia kenya also rule cross country .we are unbeatable in team titles. kenya also made history this year in poland cross country by wining all 8 gold medals both individuals and team titles something ethiopia never do. nuff said.

@MrMiddleDistance........ u talking about 10k as if its the only distance running around, should we mention the steeplechase? , we respect the few legents from both Ethiopia nad morocco,( i can literally count with the fingers of one hand) but ask a non biased white guy who is king of africa int rack and field and he will answer it for me, just dont bribe him lol

[mavikings]

@SonNative yes sir!, and the raw new talent kenya brings to the sport every time, (new guys most of the time)...and we r not talking of a couple but a bunch, if u dispute then compare the medals worn by each of the african countries in major international events in long distance and marathon running since 1957, and if u still disagree then 'hakuna matata'!.....keep watching AND LETS TALK IN FIVE YEARS

[ThePalloti]

Great video! As a kenyan i have nothing but respect for Maroc and Ethiopia... Hicham and Haile are well loved in Kenya now, true Legends!!!!
