Having lived in Addis over the last couple of years and having seen the turmoil that this civil unrest has caused for people I care about, I hope that Gidey can be a spark for healing in a country and for a people that deserve it.

I bet that was an amazing feeling. I’m glad you enjoyed it & thanks for watching it all too.
The most beautifully graceful runner I have ever seen and such a lovely humble person despite her fame and accolades. This is the athlete who we can hold up as an inspiration to all those who run or aspire to be runners.

Great quality of video. Well put together with sound knowledge. Excellent, thank you. She is a strong runner and a woman we can genuinely expect (even without carbon shoes) to run under 2:15:25 in London at the Marathon. Tomorrow, its Gideys debut, yet it'll only be an extension of her previous performances if she breaks the Marathon WR in Valencia.

The shoes definitely played a big factor in speed, but to say he didn't have a chance is an exaggeration, people have been doing ultramarathon distances long before all the cushioning technology came about.

Sifan Hasson's victory in that 10000 meter race was one of the greatest races ever run. Her last mile was 4:17. Letesenbet ran the last mile in 4:23. The world record in the mile is 4:12.

Let’s find out on the 4th!
Did you collaborate with Letesenbet or her coach Haile Eyasu on this or are they unaware of this video? The reason I ask is that I have recently become FB friends with her coach and would be happy to forward this to him. It is a very insightful historical timeline of this amazing athlete.

Helen Obiri does deserve recognition for her journey, however I wanted to keep the focus of this story on Gidey and Hassan. I’m not sure I could have woven a entire third narrative into this video while still keeping everything relevant and flowing at a good pace. I think she would need her own video.

But you won't acknowledge that to get that one global gold she had to unfairly block Hellen Obiri on the finish at Eugene. The karma got back to her at the World Cross Country championships where she faltered at the finish line and got smoked by Beatrice Chebet.

Some people use the word “strength” in a broad context not necessarily relating to how much they can lift. For example some people might say “that person is a strong runner”. Especially given the context that English isn’t his first language.
