Amazing lady like Haile Gebreslase

This is history in making. Ethiopia has been sidelined or denied marathon since now, probably if not mistaken in 1990 in Barcelona, Derartu won. after that we have been an alien to marathon.


the way she run after 400m left was amazing similar to Haile, 10,000m in Atlanta.

I don't know why the other Ethiopian girl who followed closely halted running?
congra anyway
