Bupa Great North Run 2013 (Part 2 of 2)

[@MrChristianArguello]

I've seen this video dozens of times now, and yet I still get excited watching the men's finish, as if somehow it will end up differently. This has to be one of the most exciting finishes of any road race; it's a shame this race isn't getting more recognition.

Kenenisa Bekele: the agility , the strength the speed and the form. He's got it all!

[@TehUltimateSnake]

And more importantly, the killer instinct.

[@ichthyander45]

So it is like two kids running with their dad...:)

[@VictorHugo-qg9mm]

Truly amazing race...the grit from Farah not giving up, and the amazing relaxed speed of Bekele, smiling to himself while he crushes the last mile...this is the best road racing has to offer.

[@MarciOlii]

5 years past his prime?! He ran 2019 the Berlin Marathon in 2:01h!!

[@firstlast-ep5ru]

​@@MarciOliiKenenisa's prime in general was 2008. It doesn't mean that he was useless but after that he got injuries frequently and his body doesn't constanly give constant performance. Althouhg they are practically the same sage Kenenisa Bekele is one of those athelets that bloomed early whilst Mo Farah bloomed really late in his career.

[@iamabedteweldebrhan4550]

I like mo farah but Kenanisa Bekele is the strongest and fastest distance runner of all time. just one word for him.he's THE "PHENOMENAL"

[@cryptogenic141]

@@ericmaldonado-avendano705 I wouldn’t say top two. Farah was a double Olympic champion but only had I believe 2 world records. Haile Would have had a field day with him in his prime. 27 world records. Just saying that yeah Mo-farah is definitely one of the fastest but because someone recently broke the 5k time and 10k track world records. Farahs 5k is ranked 41th place. While Bekele is 2nd and Haile is 3rd place. Mo-Farah 10k time is ranked 18th place. While Bekele is 2nd and Haile is 3rd fastest of all time. Mo-Farah is a top of all time but I definitely wouldn’t classify him top 5.

[@peters6119]

Good run down by Mo but you could tell at the end that Bekele was actually just relaxing until he saw that he had to run harder and he just started smiling because he knew he could just take off whenever he wanted. He is the king. Mo had a great track career but he will never be as great as Bekele. And Haile put in a good run for being so much older than these guys. What a field. And the women's race had Defar and Dibaba behind Jeptoo. Pretty start studded event.

[@paulsenior4575]

A team effort - Haile takes the sting out of Farah with a 4.21 mile while Bekele rests for 30min. Then Bekele breaks on a downhill where he excels - no braking in his style. As Bekele surges, Haile slows Mo and then steps aside to remove wind shelter for Farah. In the last 400, Bekele just accelerates to the same pace and as Farah gets to his shoulder, he kicks again for a comfortable perfect win. Mo's close on Kenenisa is amazing, but the true test is the World XC, Bekele 5 x in a row, Mo = 0

[@aarontewelde3577]

Wikipedia has some rubbish data. They claim that Bekele is 5'6 and Farah is 5'5 but at 13:02 its pretty clear that Farah is taller than Bekele.

[@pukulu]

+Aaron tewelde Sports Reference under their Olympics data seems to have more reliable height data. www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/be/kenenisa-bekele-1.html www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/fa/mo-farah-1.html I always thought that Mo Farah was 5'9" Sports-Reference seems to underestimate heights by a small amount for some reason. www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ki/eliud-kipchoge-1.html Kipchoge is more like 5'7" . They seem to be correct on Defar: www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/de/meseret-defar-1.html Jeptoo and Dibaba are at least a couple inches taller than Defar.

[@celestiamartinez4150]

5'5 and 5'6 these men are way taller than that

[@aarontewelde3577]

Celestia Martinez Bekele is not that tall. I could believe that he's 5'6. Farah is more like 5'8

[@pukulu]

I've seen Bekele in maybe 20 different races. It's clear that he's roughly half an inch shorter than Haile Gebrselassie, who is between 5'5" and 5'6". I've seen Bekele standing next to Eliud Kipchoge, and Bekele is shorter by over an inch, close to 2 inches. Bekele is a little bit taller than the great half marathoner Zersenay Tadese, who is around 5'3". So Bekele is between 5'4" and 5'6" for sure, with 5'5" a good round number estimate.

[@aarontewelde3577]

pukulu There is no way I'm going to believe that Zeresenay Tadese is 5'3! He's at least 5'5. And I also think Bekele is taller than Gebrsealssie.

[@devinbristow765]

Man I have to admit. I've studied Farah and Bekele, but Mo Farah amazing. The fact that I doubted this guy in this race was beyond drivel. He's the only guy to run sub 3:30 1500m, sub 13 in the 5k, and sub 27 in the 10k as an athlete altogether. Bekele has world records in the 5k and the 10k. It's truly hard to compare the two, because Mo Farah has dominated all of distance, while Bekele has completely broke logic within the 5k, and 10k. I would have to put my money truly on Mo Farah. I just can't put money on a guy who hasn't ran even a dream mile, nor sub 3:30 in the 1500m, or ran sub 1 hour in the half marathon ---- BUT I WILL ADMIT, BEKELE IS TRULY THE BEST IN THE 5K AND 10K. The guy is unstoppable there. All respect to that monster.

[@devinbristow765]

Hence why I said they are better in the 5k and 10k, but overall? I think not. RODRIGO RODRIGUEZ

+Devin Bristow Comparing both of them is not a fair comparison. You answered your own question or statement. Both athletes dominate in their perspective distance. As for running a dream mile? I am sure that Bekele who is a distance runner and not a sprinter could care less about that dream. Just saying.
