Atlete Haile Gebrselassie Reveal part 1 CNN

Ethiopian long distance track and road running athlete. Known for his remarkable versatility, Gebrselassie achieved major competition wins at distances between 1500 metres and marathon, moving from outdoor, indoor and cross country running to road running in the latter part of his career. He has broken 25 world records and won numerous Olympic and World Championship titles, and is widely considered one of the greatest distance runners in history.

i love his humble background...go haile you are a true survivor and genius

[@gustafssonanders]

Gebrselassie is probably the best runner of all time. The lightness of his running style and the big smile on his face is really inspirational. When I go running and start to feel tired and my legs feel heavy I sometimes picture myself running like Gebrselassie and it normally makes me feel a lot lighter and energized :)

[@WupeViasco]

2:30, oh God, the sounds of the church in the backround bring back so many memories of my time in Ethiopia, when I used to walk to school every-morning! Man I miss home so much!

[@Metatron141]

I'm a Canadian and I have been inspired by Gebrselassie since I started running in my high school years. A true king of the running world if there ever was one. Thank you for posting this great documentary of one a running legend.

[@cicirunner]

He is such a great runner. What is equally amazing is his generous and kind personality. I want to travel to Ethiopia just to meet him.

[@MrOptimist91]

Haile Gebreselassie for President

[@The1samuel7]

awsome i like this dude

[@therealestnoah]

thanks!!

[@sofonyasmsu]

The song is Tamralech by Gosaye

[@ghaile008]

@endale it's a song by Gossaya Tesfaye it's call "tameryalesh" from his last album.

[@92msgir]

ETHIOPIA ALL DAY!

[@The1samuel7]

awsome

[@daveisatrini]

@beanpatch7 Haile uses the Adidas Adizero Adios running shoes.....110 us on Amazon....!

[@gembreachile90]

the song is by Gossaye Tesfaye, titled "Enatye"

[@AgencyEric]

@gustafssonanders Totally do the same. Such a joy to watch this man running, so smooth, light and effortless; plus he is such a great person.

[@runnerorhun]

the best

[@bereketnew3124]

haile show man

[@gedluewnet]

@Spartank43x ...i don't see where the shame is....This kind of people emerge once in a generation. Others follow on his footsteps to make it better. So I guess this man is God fearing man running all tracks and highways successfully breaking every record. So the same instinct that he believed in and helped him to break all the recors now adviced him to retire or "it's time to stop". He is not a politcian, he is just a decorated athlete. So I wish him success in his future endeavours.

[@TomsMVP]

@Throred yes.. you can have perfect structure u can have perfect compostion... if u dont put in the work u will never be the best --> not in profesional level ... he ran 10km to school and 10km since he was like ten....

[@Maecenas23]

Have you noticed that Haile has only daughters? Long distance runners tend to have more daughters than sons.

[@The1samuel7]

nice dude

[@Tchalla_supreme_]

wow at the scenery at 0:00

[@kibret22]

new year traitional song of teddy afro , name of song is abebayehush... new year new flower

[@TomsMVP]

talent in the long-distance is a myth... its all about the work you put in....

[@beanpatch7]

@BoldRW haha thats actually pretty ironic cause i work in a store, and I specialize in shoes, and shoe fitting. But yea, I was just curious to see... it seems like he just uses a basic neutral shoe for easy runs... i fig'd he would use a lightweight perf. trainer instead.

[@Throred]

@TomsMVP So.. skeletal strucute combined with muscle(fiber)type composition doesen't matter?

[@bassbasketball03]

What is name of teddy afro song at beggining.........i demand to know.....

[@erlanabishev7234]

красавчик !!!

[@TesfayeRetta]

🎉🎉🎉

[@Bobby3065]

@thej0ker09 Blessed are those who are gentle and lowly, for the whole earth will belong to them.Mat5:5

[@cicirunner]

I can understand his English.

[@RodneyWeng]

@beanpatch7 Please don't choose shoes based on other people. Go to a specialty running store to see what type of shoe you need. Or, barefoot running may tickle your fancy

[@YiftertheShifter1]

Sethqat, I don't really know what grievance you have against Haile Gebreselassie or distance running, but I can tell you two things: one, the people who participate in this is not "a small bunch." There were over 40000 people lined up in that opening Berlin Marathon shot... and thousands more in other marathons as well as in smaller/ larger distance races. Two, unless we can argue of Haile's successor Kenenisa, he is without a doubt the greatest long distance runner. His credentials show that.

[@paintballx2008x]

whats the song in the 1st 45sec???? i liek it

[@beanpatch7]

does anyone know what training shoes he is using in this video? or in general?

[@Throred]

@TomsMVP On a professional level, you need the perfect structure/composition. In addition you need the _incredible hard work_. But you can't win with hard work alone.

[@SiruribeII]

Wow he is Ethiopian.

[@andyabrahams]

what is the song on 7 minutes that they are dancing to!?

[@JGembre]

Good prediction. He is running 2015.

[@soaprincee]

thumb up to Haile's daughter!

[@therealestnoah]

anyone know the song in the beginning?

[@KrazyKeaz]

my idol runner whats the first song? please msg me if you know :D

[@TomsMVP]

@678Destroy yeah he's one of my idols--> just started my endurance cycle 2months 600km :_) he does like 800+ in 1 month :)

[@harbar3000]

@daveisatrini Haile uses Adidas because they are paying him. This is a very good reason for Haile, although Adidas is no doubt a good shoe. All hail the Emperor!!!

[@runandstuff]

1:40 Boss

[@juninhopernambucano3]

el guerrouj that is better in 1500 and 2000 mt (WR holder) bekele is actual king in 5000 mt and 10.000 mt .... But Haile Is the king of the king Because He is the king of marathon !!!! (2:03:59 H)

[@cupcakechagrin]

whats w/ the guy w/ the AK-47 @ 7:52???

[@awilhassan6378]

from somalia i alwyz wtch ur sucsc meybe one day i will be like you long live the legend

[@hendric1000]

Haile is a partner from Adidas, so i think he uses the newest Shoes from Adidas

[@armadnt]

Haile is lying! He isn't addicted to running, running is addicted to Haile Gabrselassie!

[@buinwiboris9210]

Haha lol so funy

[@CentsTwo]

heh extra fireworks

[@beetz15s]

7:50 Damn! My man wit da AK47

[@freeanas8995]

I think that El Guerrouj is better than him. He beat him in the World Youth Championships in 1992, and he later beat him in the 3000. El Guerrouj is a legend.

[@itshei]

7:52 is that a guy with an AK-47?

[@ShiniGorky187]

no he didn't. He set a world record last year in the marathon

[@YiftertheShifter1]

@fishrfine That man is too tall to be Bekele. It can't be him.

[@SuperRayallen20]

Athlete was spelled wrong

[@Rogerio34567]

@TomsMVP haha i wish it was that simple.

[@wyrda222]

He might be good at running, but I'll put good money down and bet that I could beat him at sitting.

[@YiftertheShifter1]

Your words may have some credibility, but Wanjiru's career/ charisma will never match Gebreselassie's.

[@PetrosWelday]

nope he said that he's christian

[@YiftertheShifter1]

@pabanil His last name means "servant of the trinity."

[@IamGorko]

@bethmatt0421 you mean the Christian God? Which God do you mean?

[@randomcitizen]

What?

[@selimmaral3215]

kayseride koşmak ayıp saçmalık delilik.
