Biography
Twenty year old Tsigie Gebreselema is a rising distance running star from Ethiopia. She will compete for Ethiopia in the Tokyo Olympics Games 10,000m after an excellent 2nd place at the Ethiopian Athletics Federation Trials in 30.06.01, 5th fastest in the world in 2021 and 14th all-time.
In her youth she won a Bronze medal in a dramatic sprint finish in the U20 race at the World Cross Country Championships in Aarhus in 2019. A year previously she won Bronze at the World U20 championships over 3,000m. Since then she has demonstrated her versatility over all surfaces: an impressive 30.57 over 10,000m at the Ethiopian World Championship Trials in Hengelo to end the year ranked 14 in world as per World Athletics top lists, a win at the Istanbul 15km in early November and a 2nd place in the Great Ethiopian Run, one of the most fiercely competitive road races in the world at 8,000ft above sea level!
Eary in 2020 Tsigie won the Ethiopian National XC in the senior category and posted a solid time for 3,000m indoors with PB of 8.45.76 in Val de Reuil, France. Then Coronavirus struck and it was not until October at the Nairobi Continental Tour that she raced again. 4th in the 5,000m.
Plans for her Half marathon debut in New Delhi were put on hold due to her being stranded for all of November in Mekele, the capital of the Tigray region, as a result of war.
Thankfully she is now based in Addis Ababa and has already run two excellent performances in 2021: winning the Great Ethiopia Run in January and running a 3,000m indoor PB of 8.38 at the World Indoor Tour event in Lievin in February.
The biggest stage in the worldm awaits. The Olympic Games. A very bright future ahead on the world stage beckons.
