Can't wait.
Awesome
He looks fat and somewhat out of shape.
If he is so fat and out of shape then try running a lap of the track at whatever pace he runs in Amsterdam and if you survive come back to us.
You forgot to switch user names, Banana Bread.

nice...hope he is actually ready and puts in a solid performance
Banana Bread has set Bekele up for an epic fail hyping him to the heavens telling everyone here to expect a sub 2:02, a time no one thought possible until Kipchoge bossed it in Berlin.

Speak for yourself, Kenyan.
We true fans Expect Great Things™️ ✔️
Bekele could have a good comeback race (sub 2:06) but now he will get bashed thanks to B Bread's hype lol.

After 2016 Berlin, Bekele said he thinks he can go sub 2:02....and I recall most people back thinking that is possible for him.
not sure it's possible now but i think sub 2:03 is still in the cards for Bekele

I've had it with these apocryphal quotes. Link?
El Keniano, what kind of relationship do Kenyans have with Ethiopians? Friends? Rivals? Friendly rivals? What are some Ethiopian stereotypes in Kenya?
Too fat.

Which part? the fact he said he thinks he can go sub 2:02 before retiring? or that i recall people on letsrun thinking it's possible?
here is the link saying what he wants to go sub 2:02 (many more out there as well)
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-athletics-marathon-bekele-idUSKBN1521AD?feedType=RSS&feedName=sportsNews&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reuters%2FsportsNews+%28Reuters+Sports+News%29I'm not searching all of Letsrun on threads that say Bekele could do it. I'm saying i recall the sentiment of Bekele going sub 2:02 at that time possible. Here is a thread shortly after Berlin 2016 about Bekele/Kipchoge going sub 2:00 so obviously people were high on him after that 2:03:03 result

Absolutely zero bad blood. Rivalry limited to running and even then, we'd root for each other once our own aren't in the picture. Huge Ethiopian community in Kenya, plenty of Ethiopian restaurants and never a complaint from Kenyans like you hear from Americans about Mexicans. Ethiopia has had problems and conflicts with virtually all its neighbours except Kenya. During British colonial rule, many Kenyan freedom fighters would escape to and seek refuge in Ethiopia. After independence, good relations continued even after the Ethiopian Emperor was deposed. Visa-free travel between the two countries even though Ethiopia checks everyone else. And one of the most prominent streets in Nairobi is called Haile Selassie Avenue.
And you can read for yourself what Kenyans and Ethiopians think of each other on this Quora thread.

His hands look kind of haphazard. Opening them; closing them.
