Athletics Is In My Blood.

When I Had No Shoes I Was Comfortable - I Used To Run Barefoot. When I Wore Shoes It Was Difficult. To Run In Shoes Was Ok, But At The Beginning Of My Career It Was Hard.

This Is What I Wanted. They Tell Me That London Is The Best Field In History. I Wanted To Be Part Of That. Because Everyone Will Be There It Will Be A Wonderful Challenge For Me. You Can See The Best Runners, How They Look, How They Run. For Me To Beat The Best Is What Counts.

I Feel A Social Responsibility. We Need To Open People's Eyes. There Is A Lack Of Education In Ethiopia.

All Athletes Need Three Things: Commitment, Discipline And Hard Work. Without That It's Hard To Keep Running.

Age For Me Is Just A Number.
