Beth and Tina from our ICIS sales team met Berlin Marathon superstar Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia at the airport buffet on Monday evening. He had just won the marathon on Sunday in a new world record time of 2 hours, 4 minutes and 26 seconds for the 26.2 miles.
"He was sitting at the table next to us," said Tina. "He went to get some salad and he was mobbed by travellers who wanted to hug and kiss him. He was very polite and smiled for our picture."
