@@tracymiller1149 What more do you want them to do? Please tell me! It’s called endurance and perseverance. Could you have endured one lap? Well I highly doubt that. Oh dear! 🥂🍺 Cheers and beers mates.
Paul says I was not as sucessful as i should be because I was Born in Haile Gebresilassie Era!! Paul have such a loving personality...I Hope one day He will Come to Ethiopia.
He's done so much effort to put his country to the top of the list with his tears and happiness, let's give a man respect. His work stays above the ground for many generation to come. I wish I did something which makes me hold the flag to the world. I thank you Shaleka Haile Gebresilase.
I stayed up to watch this live in the middle of the night. I remember it like it was yesterday. It is the most exciting race I have ever seen. Hail to Haile the GOAT.
Two decades have past since they run the race, but when I watch it, I don't for how many hundreds of times, I feel as if I am watching a live competition.
The Silver Medal winner, Paul Tegrat of Kenya, was a real gentleman. The winner just beat him out in the last split-second. Instead showing frustration, he immediately patted the winner on the shoulder, smilingly. IMO, that takes good sportsmanship.
@@dib_anbesa -- Haile Gebreselasie is no doubt a great athlete. My point was to emphasize the sportsmanship of his opponent. It reminds me of the 1972 world chess championship between Boris Spassky (USSR) and Bobby Fischer (US). After one game in which Fischer won, Boris Spassky immediately stood up, clapped his hands, and applauded Fischer for a game well-played. I admire sports competitors such as these.
@@larryjacob6986 Well, the thing is both chaes players or Haile and Tergat knew they are best players. They also knew all the participants on olympics are great players since they are selected from the best of the best. They also knew there are only 3 medals for the players of more than 20. So cheer up greet and hug him until they meet again in the next Kenya Vs Ethiopia battle to the title.
WHAT A RACE! WHAT A FINISH! As an Australian, that was possibly my favourite highlight by a NON-Australian at the 2000 Olympics. What a superstar, what an athlete, 🥇 what a legend!
Haile and tergat are legends...they are my favourites athletes legend together with hicham elgourouchi of morroco and Maria mutola of Mozambique...epic!!
The best ever final and most memorable one....i was from school coming for lunch home i find it on the screen like lap 18 till last second when the great tergat lost it.was watching from greatwall tv a black and white one. Can't forget the rainy day.....Happy gone days.
That final lap was astonishing, as an Australian it still remains my favourite non-Australian Gold Medal win of those games, more than 20yrs on. What a race by 2 absolute legends of Athletics. ❤
My first Olympic for live watching with nerve-racking and ectasy. Inspirational and True Legend at display. Thank you , Haile. Tergat was great runner but happened in this special human kind era only get silver in both Olympics, Atlanta and Sydney.
Cuộc thi này cùng thời của mình thi đấu. Hai bạn về nhất, nhì. Tuy ở 2 nước khác nhau. Nhưng họ là vận động viên có trái tim hiền lành. Thể hiện lên gương mặt và nụ cười. Không dễ gì tìm thấy cuộc đua khác mà tinh thần thể thao như họ. Mình nghỉ đến tận bây giờ họ là người có cuộc sống tốt đẹp. Được nhiều người yêu mến. Mình đến từ Việt Nam.
Thanks for uploading. One of the best races in Athletics and an exciting finish on that last lap, you can see how much that win meant to Haile in the medal ceremony :)
My favorite ever Olympic moment from my favorite Olympian of all time. Haile Kirsty Coventry (Well I AM Zimbabwean 🤩) Maria Mutola Carl Lewis Sergei Bubka
Wow haile the sprinter! by the way Ethiopian athletes have high quality of sprinting specially at the end of the race Ex. Miruts yifter (the shifter), Haile Gebreselassie , Kenenisa Bekele, Tirunesh Dibaba , Meseret Dafar and so on
The respect of the 2nd Ethiopian runner that he will not pass Haile multiple times is just something incredible and the great man did not disappoint him
Ethiopia is proud to have Haile he gave all in athletics and now he is creating jobs for a lot of people here in every corner in Ethiopia a model citizen

Haile Gebrselassie was a childhood inspiration for many kids in 90 's including myself❤
Haile
The man who doesn't know how to lose. This was pure determination.

As a Kenyan kid , Haille made me sad so many times lol.What a beast. Always ruining it for us lol. Tergat is a legend.
As Ethiopian kid Haile made me so happy and tergat was so polite all Ethiopians love him
I always feel proud when Africa wins..I am from Ethiopia and I also feel very happy when Kenyans win...any racing event...
tergat is runned marathon (35 km) at Athens 2004
They're both legends
legend at losing
What a relentless strength. Amazing to notice how he geared himself to go all out around last 250m. He is a LION !
He's done so much effort to put his country to the top of the list with his tears and happiness, let's give a man respect. His work stays above the ground for many generation to come. I wish I did something which makes me hold the flag to the world.
I thank you Shaleka Haile Gebresilase.
He was Ethiopia’s chosen one!! Forever known and inspiring!!
We are 🇪🇹 proud for you Haile 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾
I stayed up to watch this live in the middle of the night. I remember it like it was yesterday. It is the most exciting race I have ever seen.
Hail to Haile the GOAT.
Paul Tergat really showed his character by appreciating Haile even after such a close race
Haile💪💪💪💪💪💪
When I see the watery eyes of the legend Haile during national anthem , it makes me cry. Long life our legend
I had to close the video to stop crying.
Haile is the sign of strength ...i will never lose hope in anything b/c there is a victory like haile's over the last fraction of seconds...💪💪
Two decades have past since they run the race, but when I watch it, I don't for how many hundreds of times, I feel as if I am watching a live competition.
I'm here every 2 weeks, inspiration
so true
Look at his face always happy😍🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Бог с Ним!!!!❤

Best race ever. Beats Tergat by 9/100ths of a second in a 10,000 m race. The 100 metre final was 12/100ths between first and second place!!!
Proud of my country man haile and my neighbor paul

This has the greatest 10000m sprint finish of all time
Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm
I like that affirmation!😃👍🏾
ETHIOPIA 🇪🇹
What a beautiful to be an Ethiopian back then
Haile Gebresilasie...The Greatest Distance Runner of All Time 💚💛❤
The fact he had an Achilles tendon injury and still won shows the fitness and more importantly the mental strength he had
Paul Tergat did not know that Haile was injured. He would have moved earlier if he had known.
The simple happy man I liked the Ethiopian legend
greatest of all time
The best ever final and most memorable one....i was from school coming for lunch home i find it on the screen like lap 18 till last second when the great tergat lost it.was watching from greatwall tv a black and white one.
