22 year old Ethiopian distance running sensation. Bekele has won the World Cross Country Championships' short course (4k) and the long course (12k) together in the last three years. Previously, this had never been done at all, let alone by someone so young. Bekele proved himself on the track at the 2003 World Championships by winning the 10k. In 2004, within a period of 8 days, he eclipsed his fellow countryman Haile Gebrselassie's 5k and 10k records by approximately 2 seconds each. In both races he had no one to challenge him, and the rabbits did not do their job properly, so it is generally assumed that he will continue to lower his own world record. He recently won the Olympic gold medal in the 10k in olympic record time (27:05). He was so dominant that he ran the last lap in 53 seconds and said "It was no problem for me" after the race. He is the favorite in the upcoming 5k Olympic Final which will be one of the most competitive distance races of all time featuring Bekele, 20 year old Ethiopian prodigy Sileshi Sihine who won silver in the Olympic 10k, world champion Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge and world runner-up at 5k and world champ at 1500 from Morocco Hicham El Guerrouj. If Bekele wins, he will be the first to complete the 5k and 10k double since Miruts Yifter, also from Ethiopia, in 1980.

Jose Contreras: Haile Gebrselassie may be the greatest distance runner of all time with 17 world records.
Bruce Lee: ya but Kenenisa Bekele will be the greatest of all time eventually... he has the versatility of Geb on the track, but what sets him apart is his success in cross country as well, which Geb never had.

Get the keannah mug.Probably the greatest name ever. Keanon's (Also spelled Keenan, Kenan, Kenon, etc.) are confident, funny, and smell nice. They're smart, open to many ideas, and often help out those in need (albeit mostly for their own, often malicious, purposes.) Some people believe they are arrogant, a little vulgar, vindictive, and malicious but who cares what they think? :D
Today I got a text message from Keanon telling me to watch out for rain today. So I brought my umbrella. I thought he was just being nice, but turns out he also needed something to stop the rain from hitting him. :/

Get the Keanon mug.Amazing, incredible, a breath of fresh air in a world full over over-exposed pop stars who don't even write their own music and spend more time on their appearance than their songs. Piano based with awesome vocals, it took a few times to really get into it, but I absolutely LOVE Keane now.

Get the Keane mug.A sexy and arrogant male who girls like but they never confess their feelings to him because of his arrogance and attitude however he is smart and at times can be pretty dumb. overall Kenen is very handsome male who knows how to dress and gets all the women because his nice and beautiful often gets rejected by girls.
