[@joshhodkinson9305]

It's impossible not to feel uplifted when you see Haile's beaming smile. He always smiles, even after gruelling and punishing races.

[@ishowinertia]

He certainly hasn’t got a gap tooth like that guy said though lol. Not sure why he said that

27 records du monde , le plus grand athléte de tous les temps ... , Merci Mr. Gebrselassie .

[@Bahir21]

The slogan "Its possible" was created in his name in ethiopia. When Haile was asked before every race if he will win the race... he will ALWAYS say....IT'S POSSIBLE. And he delivers. Gold after Gold. A record 27 times. What a legend. Long live Haile.

[@WakaiSimba]

As a Kenyan, everytime we knew Gaibresselasie was running.....we would just be like "Oh no"

Never knew he went on breaking marathon records almost a decade after Sydney. What a legend

[@matthiaslahne7527]

AN ABSOULTELY LEGEND no words can describe how difficult und tough it is to reach this level of running and to hold it about 20 years. Further he has such a positive character, he is a role model for running und attitude of life

As an Ethiopian, we are proud of you, Haile Gebresillasse

[@sadiej8738]

He does not have a gap toothed smile. There’s no gaps between his teeth. He just has has a happy, beautiful smile. Sydney Olympics is my favorite Haile race.

Ato Haile!!! One of my achievement is to be able to met him in person and shook his hand. He is really a humble guy, always smiling, down to earth, a very likable guy.

"He could end up as the president of the country!" Let's give this 120 MILLION Thumbs Up🇪🇹

[@arsemafortoloni7277]

Being a president is not as taugh as breaking records in athletics arena. Haile is the president in our heart forever like Abebe Bikila.We had a number of president but none of them were celebrated out of their polotical squad. You wished him the wish of the weak.

[@0ManPiano0]

What a humble athlete, true legend...

[@soloa24]

What he said about Kenya is true. The rivalry between the two nations is what made middle and long distance running very interesting and a must watch sports for both countries. Yes they need each other.
