World Champs 10,000m Final - Berlin 2009

[@jarenpwatson]

Beautiful race. Such a tremendous effort by Tadese. Yes, Bekele is the king, but you have to respect Tadese’s heart. Fantastic athletes, both.

[@RandomGuy-dw7hf]

Poor Zersenay. He should definitely take a lot of pride from a race like that though, and there’s definitely no shame in losing to Bekele

[@joshr.5199]

that hug at the end was adorable

[@murkymurk8305]

Especially considering the tortured history of the two countries.

[@noponisiga]

I can't stop watching❤❤❤, best performance by Ethiopians and Kenya. South Africa 🇿🇦

[@joshuasantos3831]

I like how Tadese was smiling towards the end cause he was simply happy about the fact that he has come the closest he’s ever been to beating bekele throughout all their years of competing against each other.

[@waterproof4403]

I think He beat him in cross country once

[@zeyo4064]

@@waterproof4403 no Bekele drop out of that race

[@nelocarbon3284]

@@zeyo4064 I'm the ultimate Bekele fan but he was beaten fair and square by Tadese. He was beaten and then he dropped out. Respect where respect is due

[@nichokituku4799]

@@nelocarbon3284 I think he wasn't feeling well. He dropped his pace all over sudden hence Tedesse passed him. And he dropped out of the race

[@victorgarciavargas8056]

Bekele's strategy: keep the leading one's pace, and outrun him in the last lap. Of course, to do it, you must be Bekele.

[@RavishingSailor]

LOL, hence why its Bekele's strategy. Cant even imagine kicking a 53 last lap for a 10K

[@lytesknvince]

Deathfromabove Some HS can’t even run a 53 400

[@waylaidsavant]

This man is my hero

[@joshr.5199]

tadese wasn't the fastest, but in my opinion he ran with the most heart, that's why he's my all-time favorite. even to this day

[@stalin1909]

Thank you very much for uploading .. what a race . Two of my Favorite long distance Runners ...if only Z has a strong kick , he would've been unstoppable. But Bekele is just way too much to handle

[@juventusbianconeri8093]

Tadese should have run like Hisham el guerrouj pace u self stay third or second and see what happens. I like Tadese heart and determination

[@samuelrochaferreira2247]

Bekele is the great one, but what amazing performance by Tadesse.

[@kennethjoseph8360]

13:12 😂😂we don't even know on which lap some of these athletes are on 😂😂😂😂😂

[@meslet]

Kenneth Joseph 😆 😂 🤣

[@AniketLokhande26]

Bekele was tired after 5000m heats 10000m heats and 5000m final, tadese tried to outrun him by making race as fast as possible good strategy but Bekele hung behind him and made himself clear in the mind to wait for the last lap.. Game over

[@TheGreatIronWalnut]

Tadese is truly one of the strongest athletes to ever run the 10k on the track

[@SoyatAragaw]

yo mean kenenisa?

[@inboundmoose2349]

definitely kenenisa since he holds the record and basically never lost a 10000m race (only starting in 2011 after his injuries), but Tadese was probably the most relentless runner on the track. He consistently pushed the pace in track and cross country races, while sadly rarely achieving victory in his most heroic attempts. He wasn't the fastest but he always had the most heart and guts. I love Bekele but he was soft and lazy at times. Tadese never stopped pushing himself.

[@hussienderesse7986]

kennenisa is lazy because he has unparalleled finishng. tadesse was great but his problem was kennenisa bekele. if it wasnt for kennenisa, tadesse had won so many gold medals.

Tadese is good but bekele is amezing he from other planet

[@Kipchoge475]

when you're shoulder to shoulder with Bekele with 400 mts to go-game over.Zersenay knew that;he knew it was futile to try to catch Bekele, so he just settled for silver.

[@mvab3252]

D one☝️only #Bekele 💚💛❤️💪🏽 I always love #Zersenay such an humble athlete 👏🤗 big respect ✊️

[@marshallmtshina2868]

That last lap by Bekele,

[@palacerevolution2000]

Great, great race. Tadese was fantastic, but Bekele ruled. Like the announcer said a couple of times: they really should re-inforce a ruling about runners being lapped, to move out of the way. In those final rounds when the top guys are strategizing, and then sprinting, it's an accident waiting to happen.

[@waterproof4403]

I know right! If you're being lapped move out to the outside to make room!

[@amireem3806]

Kenenisa is a king 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

[@lynneleeluckdowsing6654]

Bekele's hurting? Where?

[@hafidlabed7911]

Pour avoir l'endurance des Ethiopiens il faut avant tout vivre dans leur climat et leur relief ,c'est ces deux facteurs qui les aident à rester toujours les champions dans les langues distances .

[@tarikumulatu9288]

Tariku Mulatu I have one word only If I live in the world that is Kenenisa is my 1st choice to learn my life . When I had seen his running I am very happy if am sad, I am strongest If I am tiered, I got hot , If I am cold so he is my model

i want to see start to finishing by leading whole 25 laps. to lead is not easy. follow follow and at the last sprint is not a great.

[@bemahamankwaah7481]

lol and u think to follow is easy. At that pace is not easy that is why other athletes dropped lol.
