Kenenisa Bekele (Eth) after winning Berlinmarathon 2019 in 2h01.41

[@linanela]

Respect for this guy. One of the best runners in history.

[@usa5760]

He's the best of all time, he have the records in 5k 10k he´s beat Haile, he's there time olympic champion. Kipchoge is good but white only 1 time olympic champion and have the marathon world record.

[@linanela]

@@usa5760 I like more Haile and Kipchoge.

[@Eric-lx8hp]

No one has even come close to his 5K record after so many years

[@linanela]

@@Eric-lx8hp agree. I said, I like more Haile and Eliud.

[@kostismnl4457]

He is the best ever.. Wr in 5k 10k and second best time in marathon...

[@troycameron9684]

This man is a true legend.Great to see him back!!

[@add.bihone3838]

I was excited congratulations kenenisa you are the hero

[@jvliv435]

When I saw how lean he looked I said to myself: "he looks sharp like a knife" Boy he didn't disappoint! CONCLUSION: A well trained Bekele is a dangerous Bekele. Long live the true Lion King!

[@chicnoir29]

Yes he is finally back to his fighting weight.

[@digafechalito8693]

We the world are proud of you. as African and Ethiopian i would like to thank you to raise our great flag 🇪🇹🇪🇹 by winning in heavy condition . Thanks again our national hero!

[@LinusFeynstein]

I am not African nor Ethopian, but I am proud to belong to the human race, just like Bekele, who is such a big inspiration for all of us runners and for all of us humans.

[@greenindia5818]

Hi brother

[@galloisgareth1870]

My favorite runner for all Time king Kenenisa Bekele is back to runne

[@superyanand]

For me the best runner in the history, Why, I have many reason, he have a very accurate runner style, he dominates the cross, 5000, 10000 in almost one decade and now he almost break the marathon world record. I hope will dominate the marathon for a long but now is 37. My best wishes for the legend of this era.

[@teddy1234599]

Having seen a number of interviews over the many years of his being a top-ranked distance runner, it always impresses me the most how humble he comes across. I also like the "bubbli-ness" / youthful-enthusiasm (despite his age) he has for the sport and his potential.

[@mertgurel7613]

For me one of the best if not the best comeback in the history of SPORTS! I was lucky when I heard that he will take part in Berlin!❤ I felt sad to see how a legend like him dropped out of races. I was okay with his place 3. I thought that it's nearly inpossible to overtake lemma and legese because of his short preparation. But then I couldn't believe my eyes. I start crying when he overtakes legese... just an iconic and legendary Moment for me. ❤

[@y7prime244]

I Respect You Kenenisa

[@JayB2]

To me there is no question Bekele is the greatest runner of all time. New fans of the sport may not realize that Bekele used to dominate Kipchoge in the 5k & 10K. Even though Kipchoge has amazing endurance he cant compete with Bekele's "Kick". That end of the race kick is so deadly with him. That's why i was hoping to see Bekele vs Kipchoge again in the Marathon. If Bekele was still with Kipchoge headed into the last mile Bekele wins hands down!

[@waterproof4403]

Kenenisa by far the greatest distance runner ever

[@camilovasquez8530]

What a humble personality, what an incredible runner in human time!! Best wishes for the upcoming runs!

Bekele is back. One of the best, if not the best, runners in the history of athletics.

[@waterproof4403]

[@calebt4yahweh210]

Yes Kenenisa! You are the greatest runner in history, don't think about those who say otherwise... I beleived in you, I run because of your accomplishments. Make us proud, and one day I hope to be as good as you! God bless, bekel fan forever! (^ 0 ^)!

[@teddyomondi2728]

to me the best is Haile Gebreselassie. The greatest long distance runner ever. The greatest marathoner is and always will be Eliud Kipchoge.

[@thecoffeerunner1281]

You are an inspiration for all of us

Just watch his Brussels 10,000m 10k World Record of a crazy 26min 12sec. He lapped, I think the entire field of equally talented athletes. Like Daniel Komens 3000m WR of 7.20, Bekeles records will be incredibly hard to beat

Vaito keep dreaming with your “bet”. Bekele is king of 5000 n 10000 and kipchoge is king or road. There is no 30km or less marathon get your facts right brother. U have no argument here. Both half and full marathon are held by Kenyans. Now go home and cry...😂🤣 or train better. Injury affects everybody.

[@yusryasin2785]

The best comeback ever - 1:01:41! Two seconds shy of Eluid Kipchoge world record. At 30km he was dropped to third place and feared out. At 37km he caught up with the leader and at 41km he was five seconds behind the world record.

[@NORTAMRAT]

Bekele was angry he did not break the record for just two seconds short. And he was not honest why he kept looking the watch because he was sure he was close to the records. Otherwise he could check back how far the opponents were. Anyway for us it is good he didnot break the record because the breaking the record brings him back again. When he does break the record he would be the frist man ever to hold three long run records marathon, 10000 and 5000 at the same time.

[@connornicol2770]

You mean 2 01 41 not 1 01 41

[@isidoreh1131]

He actually was right on pace as Eliud Kipchoge from 40k (both right at 1:55:30 to the point of the Brandenburg gates (which they both past at 2:00:42, but Kipchoge closed that last minute 2sec faster than Bekele

Will put long distance runners on a even higher platform.

It’s amazing this legend achieved close to WR. But remember it’s one run in a while. Would he repeat something like this on his next run or close? Could he drops out of races? Did he push himself so hard he had damaged his future? Who knows. Kenennisa is already a legend, nothing will be taken away from him regardless. But he would cement his reputation for centuries if he breaks a world record.

Thanks to the pacesaters and the good environment (topography) Berlin provides for Marathon; let's wait and see how things will turn out in other cities.

[@amirtorhan2762]

Considering he felt something in his hamstring and didn't even go max out in the beginning, he could easily have broken the WR if he tried from the start.

[@averestless]

Or maybe by throttling a little bit down his pace, it allowed him to pick it way up at the latest stages of the race... Something like unplanned negative split strategy. Maybe if he went with his planned steady pace he wld have finished later... I dont know tbh... (or maybe Berlin marathon is not truly 42.2km :D :D :D)
