I have no doubt that these are two of the classiest athletes - no, people - on the face of the Earth. For Paul, a man who must have nightmares about Gebre, to call like that, and for Gebreselassie to respond as he did... it's very touching.
I remember thinking it was a little lame that Geb drives a Merecedes in Ethiopia. I read that he did in an article which was written a couple of years ago. I was thinking man, for such a philanthropist to drive around in his Mercedes... I was surprised he would not have preferred to spend that money on helping his starving countrymen. Then I read that it was a car he won in over a decade earlier! Geb is the Emperor, plain and simple... a beautiful runner, a beautiful man. Cheers to Tergat as well.
