2008 real, -Berlin Marathon Statistical Bonanza, provided by Ken Nakamura, Some thoughts on Mr. G, by Larry Eder

Sunday morning, if all goes right, we should wake up in the US to a new world men’s marathon record, set at the real,-Berlin marathon by one Haile Gebrselassie. Haile took sixth in the men’s Olympic 10,000 meters, and he loves this marathon course.
A truly iconic figure in our sport, the little Emperor has become a global sports figure because of his tremendous racing pedigree, but also, because he is accessible. His command of the English language is such that an interview with Haile is truly an event for the interviewer and interviewee.
My two hour interview with Haile in 2006 at the PF Chang’s Half Marathon was truly a special occasion. Our friend, the late Mike Long, set it up and Haile spent time with me, talking about his track career and his marathon career. His perception and understanding of what makes him an elite athlete, and his understanding of the responsibilities of an elite athletics superstar, who makes a nice income from his competitions was complete.
” When Gebrselassie races, the sport always expects records. Not all good races give you records!” Haile told me, a bit frustrated. He say, like many of us, that his sport’s focus on records, instead of competition, was not always good.
Now do not get me wrong, Haile will go ahead of Paavo Nurmi for world records and world bests by a distance runner if he sets a new record this coming weekend. The marathon is his new challenge and his fitness is quite high. This writer believes he can run 2:04:10, but I have never been one to vote against the little Emperor.
