KENENISA BEKELE VS. ElLIUD KIPCHOGE 2008 OLYMPIC 5000 METER FINAL - LAST 800 METERS 

It’s actually gonna be at the London marathon where they will clash

@@josegtorres1148 Rip

Sad it’s postponed to 2021 because of the pandemic. Let’s hope both would be in good form then.

lol you must me sad

Deepak Iyer now bekele is out

The first guy you hear is Brendan Foster, British top athlete in the 1970s. Second guy is Steve Cram

@@matthewgibbons4525 Cram was also a top athlete. World record holder world champion

Soledad Guzman Martinez el mejor corredor de la historia amiga. Carrerón que se viene en Londres pospuesto ahora para octubre creo. BEKELE en condiciones óptimas con los alphafly no creo que ni el mismo kipchoge le aguante el ritmo. Saludos desde rancho el Cuarteto Silao Guanajuato

Kenenisa is also the GOAT in 10km.

El garrouj is better in 5km

@@raihane6130 Since when? As far as I know - Bekele is the best from 2004 till now in 5km.

@@stereozo Indeed. But like you said in the 2004 he lost to El garrouj and at that year El garrouj stopped competing

Raihane Sidqui Did he ever set world record? I can't even find him in Wikipedia

Bekele is still GOAT

not really....this was his 5th world championship/Olympics (2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008). Yes, he started young in 2003 but he was 24 which isn't super young for Track standards. Bekele was 26 so not much difference between the two in age

@@blindguardian1979 But he defeated when he was 18 yrs old.

@@hairgang1743 Yes, he did and that was a great race by him beating both Bekele and El G in 2003....but Kipchoge never beat Bekele on the track again after that race...Also, this video was about the 2008 race so why comment about a race 5 years prior?

So was Kenenisa

not even close....I'd agree Kipchoge is the greatest marathoner but Bekele was so much better than him on the track and x-country and is only 2 seconds off his marathon WR (not consistent like Kipchoge as well in the marathon). BUT Bekele is still 16-10 in head to head races. 3 Olympic golds (vs 1 Kipchoge), 5 world champion golds (vs 1 Kipchoge), 11 x-country golds (vs. 0 Kipchoge). WRs at 5,000m (9 seconds faster than Kipchoge's PR) and 10,000m (30 seconds faster than Kipchoge's PR) and faster in the 1,500m and 3,000m. Also funny you make this claim on a video that shows Bekele leading 9 of the 12 laps of an Olympic 5,000m final and absolutely blowing the doors off Kipchoge on the last lap. How is Kipchoge the all-round GOAT again???

@@blindguardian1979 and who is laughing now? 😂😂😂😂😂

@@key-ur5vz ????ummm, no one...Nothing I wrote yesterday has changed. Bekele is still easily the all round distance GOAT. Yes, Kipchoge is the best and most consistent marathon runner but Bekele absolutely dominated him in all other discplines (track and x-country). And even if he is not consistent in the marathon, Bekele is only 2 seconds away from Kipchoge's WR (2:01:39 vs. 2:01:41). So again, tell me how Kipchoge is the all-round GOAT??

Kim Angelo yeah, INEOS was a great run and very impressive...but not a real race. What other race do you have 41 rotating pace makers at all times during the race?? And, like I said, I’d agree Kipchoge is the best marathoner but GOAT distance runner belongs to Bekele..easily!
