We asked our G4S 4teen athletes what sport they would like to see programme mentor Haile Gebrselassie compete in at an Olympic Games if he were not running.
13 April 2011
Fanuel Kenosi (Athletics, Botswana)
I would like to see Haile competing in Shooting, because I have seen him in action during a 4teen trip to Dubai and he is pretty good!
Margus Hunt (Discus, Estonia)
I think Haile would do really well in a sport that requires a lot of stamina - maybe football. He's very tough and I think he would out-run everyone else!
Eduardo Palas (Greco-Roman wrestling, Peru)
I would like to see Haile wrestling, because he is lean, fast and very persistent. I think he would be a very good wrestler and I think he would achieve as much as he has in running.
Snigdha Manda (Shooting, India)
I would love to see Haile competing in all Olympic sports because I believe he has the immense calibre to play any sport proficiently, but personally I would have loved to see him compete in Shooting.
Chien an Chen (Table Tennis, Taiwan)
I would like to see Haile compete in Table Tennis because this is my specialty. I would really like to see how Haile deals with the difficulties during the competition so that I could learn it from him.
Si Haile no corriese....
Preguntamos a nuestros jóvenes atletas de G4S en qué deporte les gustaría ver competir al mentor del programa Haile Gebrselassie en los Juegos Olímpicos si no corriese.
Fanuel Kenosi (Atletismo, Botswana):
Me gustaría ver a Haile compitiendo en Tiro, porque le he visto en acción durante un viaje a Dubái ¡y es realmente bueno!
Margus Hunt (Disco, Estonia):
Creo que Haile lo haría realmente bien en deportes que requieren mucho aguante, quizá en el fútbol. Es muy duro, ¡y pienso que sobrepasaría a todos los demás!
Eduardo Palas (Lucha Grecorromana, Perú):
Me gustaría ver a Haile luchando, porque es delgado, rápido y muy persistente. Creo que sería un luchador muy bueno, y creo que lograría tanto como ha logrado corriendo.
Snigdha Manda (Tiro, India):
Me encantaría ver a Haile compitiendo en todos los deportes olímpicos porque creo que tiene una gran talla para practicar cualquier deporte competentemente, pero personalmente me hubiera encantado verle competir en tiro.
Chien an Chen (Tenis de Mesa, Taiwán):
Me gustaría ver a Haile compitiendo en Tenis de Mesa porque esta es mi especialidad. Realmente me gustaría ver cómo Haile resuelve las dificultades durante la competición para poder aprender de él.
