Haile Gebrselassie Athlete Quotations

In the marathon a crazy athlete can just keep pushing from the beginning, at a championship you don't need a time just to win the race.

Since I achieved something, running has exploded in my country. For me sometimes it is difficult even to know who the athletes are who are competing at the highest level. There are thousands.

Athletes have to be confident and I am thinking like that.

I always tell young athletes the same thing, 'Wherever you go, whatever you do, what must your top priority be? Running.'

All athletes need three things: commitment, discipline and hard work. Without that it's hard to keep running.

Being a great athlete is something that requires a lot of training and dedication, it does not come as easily as some people may think.
