2:04 @ the age of 41? KB has never been human. Super human being. I wish him 100% health and to achieve what he truly believes he can achieve. This man was my hero in the year 2000, to think 24 years later he is still showing the young ones how its done is amazing, mind boggling. Without a shadow of a doubt THE BEST long distance athlete we have ever seen. Well done KB and 2nd in London in 202 4 is a massive result.

He looks and is probably older. African birthdates are not always accurate.

By far

Truly the greatest of all time. An inspiration 👏🏽

No doubts the GOAT. This man has been running at world class level since age 19-20. Just amazing...

As a veteran Kenyan athletics fan I fully agree the Bekele is the greatest male distance runner in history. His Olympic Gold medals, World Championship victories, record Six World Cross Country Gold medals and Marathon victories attest to this. Only Haile comes close to him

The power of belief . This guy has the hunger and the belief regardless of age . He’s incredible

Absolutely amazing and with the Paris Olympic course being hilly watch out for this intelligent runner to possibly shock the world.

J'avoue que je ne n'aurais pas misé sur Mr Bekele, mais chapeau Monsieur. J' apprécie d'autant plus votre, finish avec une grande modestie. Tout de même, 2ème c'est extraordinaire. Félicitations. Merci de nous rappeler que vous êtes toujours prêt aux avant postes

The man, the legend

One word - incredible!

I have no words for this guy I mean that's incredible

I love this man - he is the finest athlete and have been his fan since 2000s

Very happy for Bekele! Amazing feat

I love this guy!!

LEGEND!!!!

This man is hard working. He is too fluent in English compared to back in 2019... i think he must have enrolled to some classes. Hope we will see him at the Olympics.

No doubt the best ever, and really humble and gracious as well

Good man Kenny! Don't settle for less. Champ.

Am from Ethiopia Congra kenya my Ethiopia

Proud of you .we are having a problem even finishing a mile ..well done!!!

He is an absolute legend and he is one of the greatest inspirations for all of us.

Para mi siempreee vas a ser mi ídolo, Amo tu técnica, sos increíble Bekele ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Kenenisa still a great one, ahead of plent world class runners...

GOAT….legend….running god, where do I stop???? Kenny is the boss 🎉🎉

I think the best athlete from all up until now looking back on all his achievements.

My favourite athlete

this is so like him... just finished a stellar race and still he's unhappy with himself :-))) Happy to hear that he intends to keep running for a nother few years. And hoping to see the man at the Paris Olympics - a gold medal is all I wish him.

Keneni, realy you are a good model for young runners. thank you for the effort.

He is beyond great..I mean to be this great at 41 is crazy..I am sure he can achieve more if he is at his best

I want to see him run in the Olympics. Greatest distance track and cross country runner of all time!

A Paris 2024 Olympic Marathon with Kipchoge and Bekele in it at the very end of their respective competitive careers would be amazing to see. Hope it happens.

Mind blowing he ran a 2:04 in windy condition the wind for the past 2months have been awful some it gets up to 28 to 44mph gusts of wind takes so much out of you you can’t run fast in it or run the exact pace you want

greatest distance runner of all time, and no one will come even closer until the end of the Planet. Only his 11 x World cross country titles would make him GOAT

He Almost Gets Gold 🥇 London Marathon Champion 😊❤

Ethiopia is king of king ኢትዮጵያ❤

Amazing

As a 60yo runner, I rooted for you.

Bekele is doing something in his training to get the multi-decade longevity in his performance in this running game. Western coaches and their runners, take note.

You work so hard so hard we greatful 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Welldone

Congratulations on being still "Kenenisa" at 41 ! ❤!

congratulations

Long live the GOAT

Kipchoge turns 40 just before nyc. Crazy how we could maybe see a masters runner win the main draw in an abbot major under the right conditions

one of the greatest athletes to have ever lived

Kenenis bekele is th king

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 my idol

A time like that could win an olympic gold medal, sheesh!!

Legend

Kenenisa Bekele excelente

Well done kenenisa we all proud of you

Z best athlete to ever exist ❤❤❤❤

So bad he did not win, it would have been a huge mindset boost!

GOAT!

Pity he didn't ask him if he thinks he will be in the Olympic marathon.

Call him "The Big Cat" because his career has nine lives!

Bekele 👍👍👍👍

Sure hope Ethiopia selects Bekele’s for their Olympic Marathon Squad. Deserves it. Egg on their face if they find some lousy excuse to keep him off the team.

❤

Imagine Keninisa Bekele without injury, he would have dominated the long distance for 2 decades.

🎉 the only one Hero

he is better soon more he will break all wr

I am 23 Wow i couldn't finished 10 km men 🤣😇

I love Bekele

Yikes!! At age 40.....never thought this kind of running would happen. Seen a lot in my 75 yrs.. but this..

❤😂🎉

I'm just gonna say it,.. I think Bekele is stronger than Kipchogen right now And I love Kipchoge

Faster than American National record!

He wasn't wearing Nike or Adidas but Anta

We’d also be very happy if you won.

Bekele or haile.....I don't know who's better

There are 3 men in running you can never write off: Kenenisa Bekele, Eliud Kipchoge and Henrik Ingebrigtsen. These guys will continue until they need wheelchairs.

After all that... he's still hungry.

Bekele

Ain't no way a man of his age is running this quick, faster than men in their prime. Doped.

Bekele has been ahead of anyone since 16, 17 years old. He dominated the cross country achieving goals no one could ever dream of and it is still unmatched. You are talking about the greatest. Not someone that just popped up. He's highly tested as one of the worlds elite. The fact you think its aided says a lot about Bekele's incredible talent. God given + hard work.

He is lucky Kamrorar didnt take part.

No way man! Kamworor runs 02:04:23 Last year in London with far better conditions. He isnt that strong

Flotrack sucks

You can hear his disappointment in his voice. He was in much better shape than all of them and expected to win easily. I believe the heavy wind and the back pain he mentioned costed him the race.

Love to hear fellow 40 year olds shutting these lazy little kids up. They would presume to know what's in the heart and mind of a champion.

​​@@nichokituku4799 Bekele left NN last year, but I think if Bekele was the same age as Kipchoge, he might've been just as good over the marathon. Because he would've got access to better equipment and training at a younger age, and obviously every year counts in this sport. But then again, what could Kiptum have done if he wasn't taken so soon from us!

@shawnmand5607 He did have access to better equipment and training, dude was the best xc/track runner throughout the 2000s and was a few seconds shy of breaking the marathon wr in both 2016 and 2019. His peak in the marathon performance is already near kipchoge but kipchoge was been much more consistent.

@@shawnmand5607 I know he left last year. Am his fan I follow him. But as per now we can both agree his best time was 2019. And at that time he was 37 yrs in NN accessing all what Kipchoge had. And he clocked 2:01:41 which was amazing . Kipchoge at the age of 37 clocked 2:01:09. All I know is Bekele was way better in track than Kipchoge and Kipchoge is way better than Bekele in marathon. Am a fan of them both and appreciate their greatness
