Was about to say this, Bekele is my personal favorite runner but it's hard to surpass Gebrselassie's charisma. Lots of WRs plus it's hard to beat that smile
I clicked this link to say Zatopek as well. Universally beloved by teammates and competitors. The only people who didn't love him were his own government (in the end).
Your post is wild! You lead with some good bait, but then you hop in and out of troll mode!
Yes, Geb is beloved and has that charming smile... you aren't a troll?
But then you go to Farah who is hated by many for his idiotic Mo-bot and sus-as-hell improvement under Alberto. Trolling us for sure!
Then you go back to the GOAT Bekele, who is insane but awesome.
Then Rupp? Rupp who has only ever been hated by this board? Mega-trolling.
And you finish up with Kipchoge, who decided to hang around too long and watch his reputation for winning 9 of his first 10 marathons get tarnished by five straight defeats? Not beloved. Plus people know the "You can do anything you set your mind to" crap is BS. You can't run a 1:55 marathon, even if you set your mind to it. We all hate that sort of pablum.

Kipchoge can keep on trying to compete until age 50, and never detract from his accomplishments. I don’t know why you think Bekele is insane(isn’t he a successful businessman?) but he’s run past his prime.
