Haile Gebrselaisse - Video - Part 3 of 3

This 3rd and final clip which is just over 7 minutes long covers the build up to the 2007 Berlin Marathon when Haile Gebrselaisse broke the Marathon world record by running 2h 04m 26s. He would return to Berlin one year later in 2008 to set the current record of 2h 03m 59s.

After the New York Marathon on the 7th of November, he announced his retirement from competitive running. The big question now is 'Has he?'. In a recent post on Twitter, he announced that he was considering taking part in the London Olympics in 2012 so he may change his mind yet.
