Interview with athletics star Kenenisa Bekele - AIPS EC Addis Ababa, november 2014

By sports journalist Andrea Giannini (AIPS)

I am so proud of you kenenisa! Some people might think that l am crazy but seriously, l would love to one day meet this Ethiopian tiger in real life. Sometimes l can't come to terms with the fact that one day you will have to retire of course and the world of athletics would feel really empty without you. What a super star. Long live my fellow African brother. I can't imagine how you overcame loosing your late partner in such a tragic way and yet you still managed to be such a global icon. Please don't retire yet till at least ten years from now. I know it might be too much to ask but knowing the kind of person you are, "gifted with such ability,talent" you can do it. Please talk more to the camera people.
