A new athlet from Ethiopia Champion in 10,000 meters race

When i switched on my television , all of a sudden from the tv i watched an Ethiopian runner, whom i had never heard of him,on the tv he was showing a kind of gesture, which comes from his heart expressing his emotions because of that he was happy.The gesture was " an Ethiopian sign for a shooting or to shoot", besides him there was also an Ethiopian runner.
The ethiopian runner , the winner of the race he was performing Ethiopian traditional dance, it was nice to see my country man being happy , especially by winning the gold medal for his mother land , there is nothing more than this event , he should be proud of that , the victory was for all ethiopians.
at that time even though i was happy that an Ethiopian won a gold medal but i regretted because i missed to watch the whole race.I told to my wife about the race , i asked her if she had watched the game, unfortunately she also did not had a clue.
Eventhough i missed to follow the live race , eventually i got the chance to watch it on European sport channel.
The race was so hectic,it was a tough race,The famous Ethiopian athlet Kenenissa and sileshi were there ,Kenenissa had stopped due to a pain , actually he was a defending champion .
kenenissa had won the last four championships, before him the legendary ethiopian athlet haile gebresilasse won 4 times.Totally Ethiopia won 8 times consequently in the world athletics championship.It is awesome and wonderful.
When kenenissa dropped out ,imagine that defending chamion is not there ,then what would happen?, the chance to win the game diminished however the athlets were busy in running.With in the group there were two Ethiopian athlets who were not as such famous like Kenenissa and sileshi,Those athlets were Merga and Ibrahim , especially Ibrahim was a new one to the truck.
During the race for about seven and eight rounds the tempo was serious , the Ethiopians were not as such visible, since kenenissa is not there , no body has expected them.
At the last round approximately about 600 meters to finish , the somalian born English runner Farah splintered, he was running very fast.The two ethiopians had followed him, the gap was too much.Ibrahim of Ethiopia has narrowed the gap, at last Ibrahim managed to pass Fara of England and won the game.
Farah did not expect , he was confident to win the game.Ibrahim too he did not expect to win the game , at the end Ibrahim won the gold medal , Merga of Ethiopia became the third .
Ibrahim immediately thanked God , he said God is great, Ibrahim with his collegue and country man Merga , they runned in the stadion having in their hand the Ethiopian Green , yellow, red flag.The excited Ibrahim was kissing his ring, dancing ,performing ethiopian dance, both merga and ibrahim were happy . Me too i was very happy because they are my fellow country men who won the game, at the end Ethiopia won ,that is what it matters !!!
Let God bless Our athlets !!!
