i not posting this because of his recent marathon performance, but for the public to realize his greatness; bare with me.
6 CONSECUTIVE WORLD CROSS COUNTRY GOLD MEDALS (more than anyone else in history, combined AND consecutive)
this is hardly ever talked about; aside from being in the guiness book of records, year after year, and wa never mentioned once in the commentating of the nyc marathon.
now for the rest of his records, i am going to post a link below, and want to just browse around for a little while; clicking on world record links ranging from 2k - marathon.
he has broken world records ranging from 10k - marathon(which he still currently holds)
and his records that were broken were just bearly broken by 1 or two people;
may i mention, that the world record that he set, including the wr half marathon AND marathon were set WITHOUT having professional pace makers set him up; unlike haile geb has done when he broke tergats half marathon record.
once again, please browse this site from 2k - marathon and see all of the unbelievable, world record times that he has set.
