The documentary followed him on his quest to capture Olympic gold in the 10,000 meters in Atlanta. On the track, he won a 1500/3000 metre double at the World Indoor Track Championships, defended his 10,000 metre crown at the Outdoor World Track Championships, and was undefeated in all of his events (which ranged from the 1500 up to 10,000 metres). Off it, he became one of the most respected figures in athletics with his simple lifestyle and business acumen. He arrived in the United States three months before the start of the games under a lot of pressure because no African had ever won more than two gold medals at a single Olympics. However, during the games he failed to win any more gold medals but he did manage to inspire many Africans who came to America for jobs and were unable to find them back home. His example also showed that with hard work you can succeed even in the most difficult of circumstances. After the games he returned to Ethiopia where he still runs in several races each year. He remains the only person to have won both the Boston Marathon and New York City Marathon. This article is about an Ethiopian who achieved great success in the Olympics. You may know him by another name: Haile Gebrselassie. Haile Gebrselassie is one of the greatest runners of all time.
