- Оглядываясь назад, какие моменты своей карьеры ты считаешь самыми яркими?
- Один - это Сидней-2000 [Олимпийские игры, где Хайле обыграл Пола Тергата на 10-ке в невероятном по красоте финише]. А другой - 5000м в Цюрихе в 1995-м [новый мировой ]
L”ook king back, what was the highlight of your career? One is Sydney 2000 [where he retained his Olympic 10,000m title in a thrilling race to the line with Kenya’s Paul Tergat], and the 5,000m in Zurich in 1995 [where he broke the world record by an incredible 11 seconds]. That evening was an amazing world record. I was, I can say, really flying that night.”
“You know, there is no secret. I am just always very careful when I’m training. All athletes need three things: commitment, discipline and hard work. Without that it’s hard to keep running for a long time.” (Guardian)
