General Interest

General
FROM ETHIOPIA TO ITALY
His parents passed away when he was age seven, and he spent time in an orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Six months later, he was adopted by Roberto and Luisa Crippa and settled with them in Montagne, Italy. "When I was a kid, I helped my parents take the cows to pasture. I still remember the moments of my childhood in which I chased cows or I went for a walk to get water. In Ethiopia life was simple but I found everything I needed. I was born in Ethiopia but I feel completely Italian without forgetting my origin." (worldathletics.org, 24 Sep 2018)

DOCUMENTARY
A documentary called 'Yema and Neka' featuring him and his brother Nekagenet Crippa was produced by filmmaker Matteo Valsecchi and shown during the Trento Film Festival in May 2015. The film deals with issues such as social integration and the values of sport. (worldathletics.org, 24 Sep 2018)
