I've seen this video dozens of times now, and yet I still get excited watching the men's finish, as if somehow it will end up differently. This has to be one of the most exciting finishes of any road race; it's a shame this race isn't getting more recognition.

@@ericmaldonado-avendano705 I wouldn’t say top two. Farah was a double Olympic champion but only had I believe 2 world records. Haile Would have had a field day with him in his prime. 27 world records. Just saying that yeah Mo-farah is definitely one of the fastest but because someone recently broke the 5k time and 10k track world records. Farahs 5k is ranked 41th place. While Bekele is 2nd and Haile is 3rd place. Mo-Farah 10k time is ranked 18th place. While Bekele is 2nd and Haile is 3rd fastest of all time. Mo-Farah is a top of all time but I definitely wouldn’t classify him top 5.

Truly amazing race...the grit from Farah not giving up, and the amazing relaxed speed of Bekele, smiling to himself while he crushes the last mile...this is the best road racing has to offer.

So it is like two kids running with their dad...:)

both bekele and farah were inspired by Haile.

Still the most exciting end of a race--especially a half-marathon--that I've seen in years. Bravo!

I'm most impressed by the incredible sportsmanship of all three of them. You can see the deep respect and appreciation they have for each other.

Im not even a running fan, I'm a football fan but this gave me goosebumps 🥶🙏👍🙌🏽

Did yall see the way bekele tricked haile and mo!?? This guy is the greatest and genius, he dropped the pace down the hill without mo realizing it!

Good run down by Mo but you could tell at the end that Bekele was actually just relaxing until he saw that he had to run harder and he just started smiling because he knew he could just take off whenever he wanted. He is the king. Mo had a great track career but he will never be as great as Bekele. And Haile put in a good run for being so much older than these guys. What a field. And the women's race had Defar and Dibaba behind Jeptoo. Pretty start studded event.

Mo is eyeballs out and Bekele is just smiling. Holy hell!!

Awesome race. Hope Mo & Kenenisa will have epic battles for years to come. Mo definitely got the kick. Truly inspiring stuff!

Only few people will know how incredible and unbelievable a 60minute half marathon is

Bekele form is just love ❤❤.. The greatest distance runner 🐎

What a pleasure to see all this legends in one race

11:17 Bekele slows down & teases Mo. 11:37 Bekele goes to 2nd gear & blasts Mo, leaving him in 2nd place.

I like Knanissa long life to you bro...

Really great race. And the way they respect each other

the handing over of the old man to his young Ethiopian compatriot ... the attack on Bekele at just the right time ... the rain ... hunting down to the line ... this race is legendary ..

Jermia Negoli it’s because Mo is English

A team effort - Haile takes the sting out of Farah with a 4.21 mile while Bekele rests for 30min. Then Bekele breaks on a downhill where he excels - no braking in his style. As Bekele surges, Haile slows Mo and then steps aside to remove wind shelter for Farah. In the last 400, Bekele just accelerates to the same pace and as Farah gets to his shoulder, he kicks again for a comfortable perfect win. Mo's close on Kenenisa is amazing, but the true test is the World XC, Bekele 5 x in a row, Mo = 0

I love Mo but he wasn't blocked.

Congra bekele, it was sooooo amayizing the finishing speed of mofarah ,

3 legend

Bekele used tactics in this race, letting use his energy to try to close the gap then sprint when Mo is tired

what a finish !

At 7' 04'', a gentleman... The man over the athlete...

best run ever!

The best posibility comeback 🔥💪🏆

I love Kenenisa

verdadeiro Duelo de Titãs!

At this race Haile Gebrselassie showed that he is better than Bekele and Mo Farah, because he was 10 years older than them and the finishing time for the first three runners is really very close.

Now! I understand how value a second is.

Wow what a finish!

If only Kenenisa was this healthy back in London 2012 olympics. Mo wouldn't have stood a chance

And now they run a full marathon at that speed. Insane

I've seen Bekele in maybe 20 different races. It's clear that he's roughly half an inch shorter than Haile Gebrselassie, who is between 5'5" and 5'6". I've seen Bekele standing next to Eliud Kipchoge, and Bekele is shorter by over an inch, close to 2 inches. Bekele is a little bit taller than the great half marathoner Zersenay Tadese, who is around 5'3". So Bekele is between 5'4" and 5'6" for sure, with 5'5" a good round number estimate.

@aarontewelde3577
