My favorite female runner. A beautiful athlete to watch. Her face expressions, her style of run and of course the top performance. Stay healthy and keep amaze us Letesenbet Gidey!
I was a runner in my younger days and have watched many competitions and runners (short and long distance). I can't beleived my eyes when I got to watched this most beautiful runner in my life time. Her style of graceful running, determination and humbleness makes her the most wonderful runner to watch besides her personal beauty. May God continue to bless her with greater success in this sport.
Gidey is a marvelous runner. By watching her concentration, her running style, her profesionalism and her incredible talent, I predict she will become the best track and road runner ever.
She goes so hard, always sick to her stomach and completely spent at finishes. Such a cool runner! Great time right now with Gidey and Cheptegei, both gut it out, both world champion XC runners, both perfectly built with perfect form and great attitudes.
I am very proud of you Letesenbet, Ethiopia is proud of you!!! You have become my favorite distance runner right now and I wish you many more success. JEGNA!!!
I love her, she is great. I like how she had to keep tapping on her pacers back because this world class male runner was running to slow. That 10,000 in next years olympics between her a Sifan Hassan will be the best race in the Olympics, perhaps close to the 29 min barrier will be broken that day if it isn't a tactical race :)
Started of looking like the initial group of men she was running with , were helping to drag her to run faster, but it turns out she was the one forcing them all to run at pace they couldn't sustain, for the fear of a woman overtaking them. They eventually all fell away and she went ahead to chase down some of the better dudes, including those two Japanese guys that fought so hard to prevent her beating them and she still eventually finished ahead of one of them . This really is a superhuman performance when you consider that no other woman in history has run a sub 30minutes 10km, but she just ran 15km at sub 30mins 10km pace.
13:30 What a dramatic switch from powerful elegance to difficult-to-watch sickliness; amazing how she can seemingly choose to block it all out until the end of the run.
She looked at her watch several times, she knew exactly what she was doing. It wasn't just about winning the race anymore. Having such confidence in herself to absolutely smash the WR is unbelievable.
Wow. She was absolutely graceful as a teenage runner, but man her stride looks so powerful now, and with bigger quads. Such an inspiration to have leg days again!
Yes, it acts funny, but in fact, the Japanese deserve praise. Mutually beneficial stimulation. :-) In the overall standings she finished in 16th place, among men.105 professional male runners ran slower than she. So it can be said that the Japanese were no outsiders. (These Japanese are said to be able to make 10 km in 28:30, but they exaggerated the beginning here by keeping up with the blacks. Letesenbet caught up with them in this situation, which must have been an unexpected experience for them.) A small note that the time of the second Evaline Chirchir (46:33) was here on Zevenheuvelenloop the second best in history, after Tirunesh Dibaba (46:28)
Ms. Gidey is such a beautiful runner. I absolutely love watching her run. Men with low numbers on their bibs don't expect to be passed by females. This is the greatest single running performance ever by a female (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xePp4c-T-LY.html)
AaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHHH !!!!!!! This is the race GIDEY RAN THE LAST 10K IN 29:13 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BATTERING THE TRACK TIME BY A LOOOOOOOOONG WAY !!!!!! JUST WATCHING HER MAKES ME GIDDY 😂😂🤣
This is my favorite clip of Gidey because no one seems quite ready for her. The pacers are running too slow and the old guys on the scooter seem to be trying to get her to slow down.
Though it is not very agreeable for runners to feel motorbikes so close to them, we are very lucky to follow such a Queen of running during all the race ! Obviously she is one of the most beautiful girl ever seen in this sport ! We already knew Almaz Ayana, Genzebe Dibaba and Senbere Teferi , in a similar magnificent running, and here is another marvelous woman, moreover a fairy of the stadium ! What an amazing woman, perfect stride; she flies over the ground while others trample and jerk ! How ugly are runners ( men and women) from north hemisphere in comparison ! Letesenbet Gidey is a jewel of femininity ! The peerless woman. She is a Goddess !
13:14 I suspect the second Japanese runner could probably have outsprinted her but didn’t want to be seen as trying too hard to beat a girl just for the sake of it, especially when she had clearly outrun him on endurance with her clean form till the end.
