He made this world record (mentioned in this video) in last November 2007, but surpassed it in Berlin just three weeks ago and improved it for 27 seconds. Amazingly, this man runs faster every time despite his age, he really demonstrates the endurance of human body not to mention his mental determination.

I truly admire this man. A great sportsman and a great person. And what a life story, truly inspiritional. He is the best long distance runner in history, no doubt about that.

"I told you, running, athletics is my life" - best part of the show if you ask me.

I'm Kenyan and anybody that knows anything about long distance running knows the rivalry between Kenyans and Ethiopians. Haile has broken Kenyan hearts time and again but I'm struck by the similarities we have in terms of upbringing, struggles and values. This guy is truly a legend and I'm enormously proud of his accomplishments both on the track and in philanthropy. Long distance running has done a lot to East Africa and it's something we have to be thankful for. |
