While every athlete learns the importance of sportsmanship at an early age, as they get older and become famous at the professional level, that notion can be tossed out of the window.
Ethiopian running legend Haile Gebrselassie has shown true sportsmanship after wishing Eliud Kipchoge the best of luck as the latter tries to break the 2hour mark marathon barrier in Vienna, Austria tomorrow.
"Hi my friend Kipchoge, I know you are in Vienna for the sub-2 hours. Believe me, you can do it. Go! Go! Go! Good luck," Gebrselassie posted on Twitter, Friday.
All my well wishes for our legend @EliudKipchoge. Good luck!
