"I am the greatest" says Kenenisa after fourth world title

After two Olympic victories and his fourth world championship title on Monday night at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Ethiopia’s Kenenisa Bekele chose his words carefully, but was in no doubt about the magnitude of his achievement.

"Yes I am the greatest ever," said the 27-year old when asked if he believed his victory put him among the legends of the sport. "In my event, no one has been able to do what I have done. I have done all that a man can possible manage in his career. Therefore, yes, I do consider myself as the greatest of all time."
