Gebrselassie was born as one of ten children in Assela, Arsi Province, Ethiopia. As a child growing up on a farm he used to run ten kilometres to school every morning, and the same back every evening. This led to a distinctive running posture, with his left arm crooked as if still holding his schoolbooks.

Haile Gebrselassie is one of the biggest runners of the world, holding most of world s running records. I think this is what happens when you re turning a handicap, as in Haile s case, the distance between school and home, into a priviledge.
