TIGRAY TALENT
She comes from the Tigray region of Ethiopia, and moved to the nation's capital, Addis Ababa, to train with her husband and coach Hluf Yidhego, who she originally met in Mekele. Her husband was a long-distance runner, but after struggling with injuries he made the transition from athlete to coach. The couple try to help develop other Ethiopian athletes who come from Tigray. "Even now [2021] there are not so many athletes that have come from Tigray. But there are more than people know. There are more clubs and more athletes coming." (worldathletics.org, 10 Mar 2021)
