If I Don't Train Enough, Of Course

I Was The Kind Of Child Who Worked Hard Every Day With The Cows And Sheep - I Was A Very Aggressive Boy.

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

Athletes Have To Be Confident And I Am Thinking Like That.

I'm Lucky. The Best Possible Place In The World For Training Is Addis Ababa, So I Am Home All The Time Except When I Am Racing. I Like To Be There, Near My Family, My Kids, Also The Real Estate Business I Run With My Wife.

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.
