Why in these documentaries they never allow the people to speak in their native language? They would be able to express themselves much better that way, they would be able to focus on what they want to say, instead of having to focus on finding the correct words. And, come on, if you're going to subtitle it anyway, let them speak freely in their native language.

KENYAN'S ARE BORN TO RUN. VERY MOTIVATING.

[@yonarsalach5842]

I think Kipchoge is doing extremely well and enjoying the race because he is managed by a Kenya manager, Patrick Sang', the former Athlete. These European Managers Do not know the secrete.

Super reportage bravo a vous tous.

At 4:20 she says fartlek, not third leg.

[@astrea00]

LOL

[@zakariafarah1101]

It is actually, Fartlek. The captioning is wrong. It's a form of speed training.

Love it!

I’m not saying epo is or isn’t abused by some Kenyan athletes, but I would have thought the risks of doing so would be greater amongst athletes from this area. Back in the 90s during the Tour de France many cyclists were dying from epo abuse with their blood becoming too thick due to raised red blood cell counts....blood like jam. Some cyclists of this era even set their alarms to go off at 4 a.m. in the morning so that they could do some training to keep their blood circulating and pumping around their bodies, such was the fear of having a heart attack in their sleep. You’d have thought that athletes whom trained and lived at altitude with naturally increased red blood cell counts to athletes living at sea level would be playing Russian Roulette with their health by injecting themselves with epo.

[@gorangaby1094]

They call it epo for athletes from poor countries they call it "supplements" for rich countries.

Coaches come from Europe to coach the winners in africa? 🤔 is it not supposed to be the other way round.🤔. just wondering.

great

[@bvbocan1]

"they run like antelopes already"? That implies that African runners dont work hard to achieve their successful outcomes. In fact its quite simple; the efforts you put in equals the effort you put out.

Travel to Kenya to see a facility started with the money of a black Kenyan woman...spend almost the entire documentary talking to European or American white dudes.

[@tylerw1034]

Well those are the coaches...Do you have a problem with white people?

[@tylerw1034]

Also this is a documentary praising black athletes for how talented and amazing they are at this sport. Liberals like you need to stop looking for racial issues in everything,

[@bubbaw1234]

I find it difficult to understand how you cannot also see "racial issues" in talking (nearly) exclusively to Dutch and American white men about the lofty physical attributes of black people in Africa, while said men are making money off of those attributes. There is a long history of "praising" black people for their "value," but that doesn't change the colonial context that frames this whole issue. If you are going to really cover the Kenyan runners, then talking to them *might* be a good start. You've stated your thoughts, and I have stated mine. I don't particularly want us chasing our tails unnecessarily as I can't quite tell if you are just trolling. In any case, feel free to take the last word, and we can move on.
