Even though his 5k and 10k world records were recently broken, I think he’s easily still the GOAT.... no carbon plates back when he set them.
True his records would be intact if the shoes would be the same today
@@Buddhi011 No I doubt it, Guys just give credit where its due lol
Same can be said of barefoot athlete Bikila, and smoother road and even cross country courses. In racing, only thing that matters is the racing, conditions and tech at the time.
@@dpcater no numnuts, records are at that time only, with the knowledge and technology being limiting factors, or there would be faster runners back then than there are now.
@@Buddhi011 LOL NO
There is good and then there is great, but then there is TOTAL RUNNING PRODUCTIONS
I copied your comment a bit cause it is so good 🤫
TRP is the Bekele of CZcams running channels.
And then there's Joshua Cheptegai, baby!
@@withoutwithin bc
I was going to comment the same thing, but couldn't have said it any better!!
You could honestly talk about one runner 1 million different ways and I will watch every video
he has and we did
You said it
Total Bekele Productions. Sounds good to me!
Me too

I can not name a single athlete with such endurance and SPEED and consistency, despite the horrible injuries he sustained. Keninesa is nothing but Lion, as Ethiopians like to name some one with greatest achievement. He is number one in medal collections both in individual and national representation. A famous Ethiopian Singer, Teddy Afro have dedicated a song to him " Ambesa Q/Kenenisa" / "Kenenisa The Lion" . Thank you TRP, you are doing great!
P.S Lion have special attachment with Ethiopian society. The Black Manned Lion is indigenous and Native to Ethiopia. There was a time when lions were treated like pets. Back in imperial times one can see a number of lion statues in Addis Ababa. Still can see few of them. There is even Lion Bus (the oldest in the continent i guess, it dates 80 years since its service to the public) , Black Lion Hospital, Lion Shoe, Lion Bank etc. 1 birr and other coins of Ethiopian currency have lion minted on side of them.
Kenesia Bekele is the Greatest Distance Runner ever !
I love Eluid Kipchoges personality but there is only one 🐐
Bekele forever! 🇪🇹
❤
Not even a debate tbh
Yeah not for long until cheptegi. Takes it
@@JC_Edits_Official ummmm🤔🤔he was 19 ...no way cheptegai will ever do that 19 ....this guy is the only runner to dominate cross country and track duringvhis era ....cheptagai is amazing and broke his records but to be great like bekele ...still a long way
Bekele is just perfect to watch. Others may go faster but he looks better than anyone. XC is the great leveller speed, strength, endurance and style.
Never looks tired. Form never breaks. Beautiful running
Can we just appreciate for a moment how TRP digs out that old footage for every single video?! Superb effort 👍.
No vomit, no passing out, no sign of unconsciousness at the finish line. King Kenny is next level in a sport that exists in the pain cave. No other runner in history is decorated more from the trails to the track. Just saying 😌
In my opinion, the greatest runner of all time. Greatest athlete that most people haven't even heard of.
I’ve heard of him.
Impossible that people don't know who is Bekele. This man not only dominated the cross country during century first decade, he also has dominated the long distance track & field long distance.
This is not a man, is a oxygen killing machine that looks never be tired during the compatitions.
i never even heard of him before this
oh bro stop crying about Cheptegei´s shoes. I mean Kenenisas achievments are still ways superior to any other runner.No the time makes the greatest, but what he does and Bekele just won everything.
I ran twice against El Guerrouj and was both eclipsed
Cross country running should be hailed as the ultimate sport!!
Yes, and they should put it in the Olympics, there has to be some nice courses near all those host cities
I have a race in 2 weeks but I've been injured for 4 months. This v9d has given me the motivation I need.
Good luck my friend!
@@danbradford7127 thanks!
Race fast 527fly for all of us who are still training, but for whom there are no races to run...
What distance race? And make sure to let us know how it goes!
@@wardfreeman7533 will do!
I love Bekele.He's my all-time favourite runner, and the 🐐 of distance running imo.so any content on him, especially TRP's, is a treat.😍
Stoked for part 2!
Kenenisa bekele the best ❤
The production quality of this video is fantastic! Appreciate the details like matching the music to video cuts.
So some people trying to compare Mo Farah with The one and the only Kenenisa Bekele. Are you kidding me?
He is the Undisputed Champion
🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹👏👏
💚❤
legend says his wife loves him because of his endurance.
Kek
Bekele Just built different !
He was simply the best!others did it once but this was double champion plus I hope he will break marathon record if manages to stay injury free!
Undoubtedly the greatest of all time!!
I was a spectator when he set the 5km WR in Hengelo Holland. The record would still stand if the shoes would not have changed over the last few years / with carbon plates
and more importantly the even-paced wavelight technology
There was no carbon plate in that shoe worn by Cheptegei. Only Pebax
@@benanastasoff8980 where is confirmed that the shoe was a normal standard shoe and not special prepared
@@Buddhi011 that’s the world Athletics rule, so if prepared with a design not available to the public, the shoe is illegal. There are also plenty of up close camera shots of it and it looks exactly like the standard dragonfly. Sure, Bekele likely would have won if they were head to head right now with the same technology. But I still don’t think it’s fair to dismiss a great performance like Cheptegei’s just because the technology is better 16 years later. Bekele used the same technology in the marathon and he isn’t complaining about how his world record was better. He simply congratulated Cheptegei for his breakthrough performance. Even if there was a carbon plate in the shoe though, it would have been perfectly fair as the foam and the plate don’t give the runner any energy they aren’t putting in. The energy is already there, just accessible because the shoe isn’t wasting so much of it
I absolutely agree brother
You are The Jimmy x highroller of running
True
yo ..
Yooooo
Evan Donahue fax
You are SO right! I love jxmyhighroller. I know what you mean by this statement, because the commentary, research, and narration are so intriguing.
will be eagerly waiting for the part 2....Kenenisa Bekele is my fav. long distance runner😍....want more contents of him☺️☺️.
The GOAT
My all time favorite Runner..
The Goat
TRP. Fantastic, incredible. Another great production. Plus, even the cut-off for Part Deux was superbly timed, leaving us all wanting more. Thank you. Cheers.
Yes,he is the Best long distance runner of all times- K.B.👍
You always have awesome topics and videos ready to go!!!
He really does!!!!
he is... TOTAL RUNNING PRODUCTIONS!
His editing makes it really good tho
He did it
On all surfaces
The king of X Country
One Athlete and Never ending Stories. Legend
What a Christmas gift! Thank you so much, looking forward to the 2nd part...
“The Land of the Untouchable?” I’ve never heard of that phrase before.
now you heard it and it is absolutely true!
Yap
I believe he could hold the marathon WR right now if he got into marathons earlier, it's too late now but he definitely could have had it
Great content man! For sure, Berkele is The GOT of Cross County! I can’t wait for part 2👍🏾😄
Good Lord that 11 minutes felt like 4 I want longer videos
This record will never be broken. There are three reasons why:
1. Bekele is the G.O.A.T. virtually untouchable
2. There used to be two events for the seniors. The long course (12km) and the short course (4km). But now there's only the long course that's a part of the senior competition.
3. The XC WC is not held every year, as it was when Bekele was in his prime. Now it is every second year.
The reason they cancelled the double is because it was getting way too easy for him to win haha
you have the best running videos. great edits , very entertaining
Love you King kenenisa Bekele
Excellent video, can't wait for part 2 !
I see all the work you're putting in your videos. Thanks for doing this!
Once again Great video TRP. Very well done👏🏿💯👍🏿 To be honest Bekele wasn't the GOAT in my estimation until I saw this video but now, he is undoubtedly, unquestionably, unduplicatably, the Absolute Distance Running GOAT.
Loved the video. Just amazing content.
XC GOAT! Excited for part two!
THE GREATEST TRACK/CROSS COUNTRY CZcams CHANNEL OF ALL TIME
I like the cliffhanger :D worked on me, im looking forward to part 2!
Kedenisa Bekele is the Greatest Cross Country Runner of all time and his time on the Track 2Greateast behind Halie Gebrasalasie
nice highlight videos, and great music as well!
I have been overdosing on Bekele for years, year after year, seriously addicted. Also, tirunesh and GEZEBE DI BABA.
This is literally my favourite youtube video of all times
Sonia o sullivan won world cross country long and short course in 1998. So she is the first to do the double. Bekele is the greatest run of all time, top man on all terrain.
Thank you bro 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Great! I like the quality of this video
Bravo super la vidéo
4:55 there is the mexican athlete Juan Luis Barrios! It is good to see him side to side with the legend Kenenisa Bekele
Mistake, juan luis was behind, no side to sade
@@abagfam6072 Well yes, to be precise he was just behind haha. Very impressive to me anyway :)
@@gabi111able i agree with you¡
Kenenisa bekele is the greatest distance runner and I ❤ you kenenisa bekele
Wow what a cliffhanger :) great video.
He's a legend!🇺🇬
Haile 💚
@@waterproof4403 both!
he could beat kipchoge in marathon wr
Love this channel
Waiting for part 2nd of the video...feverishly
You made one of the most described video I had seen
Love the intro
I would say that Kipchoge in the 2005 championships was going way way way to fast and towards the end he faded heavily and he even stopped to early. That goes to show how fast KB is. He can go at a blazing pace but still can hold that pace for a long race. Even the great Kipchoge can’t handle his pace
Over 42k yes he can.
Kenenisa PB in marathon is not far away though....
@@runcaz7802 That’s true. I do think KB is the overall best distance runner, Kipchoge is better in the marathon distance
@@penguinmilkshake6257 agree. But what about Haile Gebrselassie
excellent video
Where’s part 2 ?? I’m just sitting here waiting for it like 👀
Then. THERES JOSHUA CHEPTEGEI BABY
Note: Bekele is better than cheptegei. I am just trying to have fun and throw out a joke
Kenenisa is better runner, Joshue beat his record only because of todays running technology which is far better than in Kenenisa times.
Bekele > Joshua in XC
@1412 not in the present, probably in the marathon cuz of focus rn on marathon. But prime Bekele is better than present Joshua imo.
I was bout to write a whole paragraph
@@darkorayo6139 😆
The beats are 🥵.
good editing
Very nice 👍
There is good and great, but then there is KENENISA BEKELE mixed with TOTAL RUNNING PRODUCTIONS, and on top of everything the music turn up and get you crazy at the end of the video
Most creative person in the world
Without a Doubt 🏆
I love him
The legend
Hes my fav runner coz hes short af but rekting all these tall runners with super long strides. Kinda like Tyson in Boxing.
bekele is probably my favourite runner
I am 5'6" and I love how the GOATS have generally been shorter guys but the majority of the decent distance runners that competed with were generally tall white guys.
ayyy 🔥🔥
Is there a part 2?
God damn it! Where is part 2!?
QUESTION to TRP: Why was he able to completely dominate? What was it about his mind, body, training that gave him such a huge edge?
The Ethiopian mentality based on won with trust worthy he is orthodox and prayer!
@@tamerintube6313 thanks
He is from the mountains of Arsi (altitude), discipline (no doping, alcohol), training (almost 250km/week) and excellent physique for LDR.
God works in mysterious ways but prayer isn't going to win you a race. In the eyes of God, I don't see the significance of a Kenenisa Bekele win versus other runners who worked just as hard.
@@tamerintube6313 💚
@@crimsonJerom lmao yea
Its like watching summoning salt.
When is pt2 coming out?
🔥🔥
I love it but I hate that bekele and kipchoge had their race put off and then one dropped out and the kipchoge bombed and that may be the last of the time we could have seen them. The era is almost over 😭😭
👑
I think bekele is an runner very good .thank you
He was an inspiration to all of us when we were degraded, especially our countrymen Oromos.

Oh man, the cliffhangers
I never trained in running, so I doubt I could have beaten him in a cross country race. I’d be worried about twisting my ankle running on grass like that. Not saying I’d win if I didn’t twist my ankle, but I’d have a better chance than if I did.
😅
Bekele was a great champion in his day holds records stood over a decade. But there is still one man who may not have xc world titles but hold records that are unlikely to be beat aka Daniel Komen.
Daniel Komen and Haile Gebrselassie Rivalry will forever be special ♥
Wating for 2 part of this video
Every kick is hitting ass so good❤️❤️
Khalid Khannouchi is a retired Moroccan American marathoner. I have been struggling to understand, Why they don't mention him

O melhor corredor atual que esta surgindo encontra-se em Bento Gonçalves e tem 17 anos! Se você quer saber mais me contate!
I loved cross country in high school and college, my fav sport. He has the perfect body for cross country, short stature but very muscular and strong. To recover enough to do next day doubles is next level for sure. I use to love watching John Ngugi who won 5 championships, but he didn't do doubles. I love that part II is coming, anticipation baby " czcams.com/video/BELWbkyOVPQ/video.html"
Paul Tergat also won 5 times the cross country world championship
They better call those offroad running than cross country.
Bekele is great! The only one that i think could have a chance against him in world cross country championships long course was Paul Tergat, who had 5 straight wins 95-99. Watch the hole race over 12km in world cross country championships in Stellenbosch -96. What do you think ?
Kenenisa would destroy him lmao
1:50 that game face tho
