4th Consecutive Victory for Zeresenay and great Team effort for Eritrea.
EAAA would like to congratulate the Eritrean national Half marathon team for
a great result while acknowledging that Zeresenay Tadesse has become the
most dominant runner in the world in half marathon racing where he has won
his 4th straight IAAF half marathon race in Birmingham, England. Zeresenay
dominated the race by registering a time of less than an hour (59.35) where
his closest competition Kenya's Benard Kiprop Kipyego finshed at 59:59 and
24 seconds behind which is a big gap in the sport of running. Meanwhile
Eritrea's up and coming star Samuel Tsegay finished at 5th place and a new
star in the making Adhanom Abraha finished at 19th place along side of
Tesfahiwet Ghebretinsae and Yemane Teame who are all up and coming stars by
helping the Eritrean team to a silver in this year's half marathon. In the
Women's race Furtuna Zegergish did not disappoint as she finished at number
24 with a time of 1:11:56. Congratulations to the Eritrean delegation for a
job well done.
