Kenenisa Bekele is one of the most dominant distance runners in the history of the sport. He held the 5000m world record from 2004 through 2020. He is even more daunting in the 10,000m; he was undefeated in this discipline from 2003-2011. That streak included four consecutive World Championships. Adding to his legend, the Ethiopian great has also run the second fastest marathon ever.

Special Bonus: the truly eternal Hicham El Guerrouj.
