Haile Gebrselassie

Haile GebreSelassie (born April 18, 1973) is a long distance track and road running athlete born as one of ten children in Asella, Arsi, Ethiopia. He is considered by many to be one of the best distance runners of all time. His prodigious distance running ability may have resulted in part from the high elevation of his home village: 8,000 feet above sea level.
