Gebrselassie, however, surrendered at mile 18, blaming difficulty in breathing which turned out to be caused by an allergy to pollen in the air. This enabled the winner of 2005, Martin Lel, returning home with another victory after a final crackling. A month later, Gebrselassie made a surprising return to the track when he ran the 10,000 but Hengelo (Netherlands) in 26'52 "81 finishing 5 th. The time set by Gebrselassie was remarkable, despite being the eighth time he has fallen below the 27 minutes (more than any other in history): in fact this time is the only man over 30 years to be dropped below 27 minutes in the 10,000 m. Also what is more surprising is able to run at this rate for a period of 12 years (1995-2007). On June 27, 2007, he launched the attack on the hour record in Ostrava in the Czech Republic he managed to set this record, covering 21,285 meters and 21,101 meters of surpassing the previous, Arturo Barrios. addition Gebrselassie ran 50 laps (20,000 m) in 56'25 "7, which earned him another world record, beating the previous record, also held by Barrios.

I CAMPIONI DELLA MARATONA : Haile Gebrselassie
Haile Gebrselassie (Aselle,Etiopia 18 aprile 1973) vincitore di due medaglie d'oro nei 10000 metri piani alle Olimpiadi di Atlanta 1996 e Sydney 2000.
Da quando ha lasciato la pista, dopo le Olimpiadi del 2004, Gebrselassie si è concentrato sulle gare su strada e sulla maratona.
A Londra il 22 aprile 2007 Gebrselassie sfidò il vincitore della Maratona di Londra 2006 Felix Limo, il vincitore della Maratona di Londra 2005 Martin Lel, il campione olimpico in carica Stefano Baldini, il vincitore della Maratona di New York 2006 Marilson Gomes dos Santos e l'allora detentore del record della maratona Paul Tergat in quella che sarebbe stata una gara eccitante, secondo gli organizzatori. Gebrselassie comunque si arrese al miglio 18, accusando difficoltà nel respirare che si scoprì essere causata da un'allergia ad un polline presente nell'aria. Questo permise al vincitore del 2005, Martin Lel, di tornare a casa con un'altra vittoria dopo un finale scoppiettante.
Un mese più tardi Gebrselassie fece un sorprendente ritorno in pista quando corse i 10.000 m a Hengelo (Paesi Bassi) in 26'52"81 finendo 5º. Il tempo stabilito da Gebrselassie fu notevole, nonostante sia stata l'ottava volta in cui è sceso sotto i 27 minuti (più di ogni altro nella storia): infatti con questo tempo è l'unico uomo oltre i 30 anni ad essere sceso sotto i 27 minuti nei 10.000 m. Inoltre ciò che più sorprende è il riuscire a correre a questi ritmi per un periodo di 12 anni (dal 1995 al 2007).
Il 27 giugno 2007 lanciò l'attacco al record dell'ora a Ostrava in Repubblica Ceca. Riuscì a stabilire questo primato, percorrendo 21.285 metri e superando il precedente di 21.101 metri, di Arturo Barrios. Inoltre Gebrselassie corse 50 giri (20.000 m) in 56'25"7, che gli valsero un altro record del mondo, battendo il precedente primato, sempre detenuto da Barrios. Questi due furono il 23º e il 24º record in carriera di Gebrselassie.
Gebrselassie fece il suo debutto a New York quando vinse la Mezza-Maratona di New York il 5 agosto 2007 battendo il precedente record della gara di 2 minuti. Inoltre c'è un particolare curioso per quanto riguarda la mezza-maratona: ha vinto tutte e 8 le gare di questa disciplina cui ha preso parte.
Il 30 settembre 2007 Gebrselassie vinse la Maratona di Berlino in 2h04'26, migliorando il record del mondo di 29 secondi rispetto al precedente di Paul Tergat. Alla fine della gara lo stesso Gebrselassie si scusò al telefono con l'amico-rivale per aver superato il suo record. Il 28 settembre 2008 stabilisce il suo ennesimo record del mondo, nuovamente durante la Maratona di Berlino con il tempo di 2h03'59, migliorando di ben 27 secondi il record precedente da lui stesso detenuto. Tale record è durato fino al 25 settembre 2011, quando l'atleta del Kenya Patrick Makau Musyoki l'ha migliorato di 21 secondi, portandolo a 2h03'38.
Il 7 novembre 2010 annuncia il suo ritiro dall'atletica[1] dopo aver abbandonato la Maratona di New York al 26º km.[2] Qualche settimana dopo Gebrselassie cambia idea, allontanando l'idea del ritiro e ponendosi come obiettivo la conquista di un nuovo oro olimpico a Londra nel 2012
