PB by 9 seconds in Doha.. If she picks up a little speed.. she may get on the podium in Osaka.
She looks a little like kenenisa!!

I do like her.. but she got anhilated by achamo at the national champs last week
You will see that achamo will be the better runner period.
Mekdes has better technique right now... but achamo has better speed. Once she gets her form down.. Achamo will be great.
I can't wait till Ethio's dominate this
then we will have
3000 steeple to 10000 on lock down.
Did you read how many world titles kenya has at world champs on the women side.. (1)
Ethiopia has 5!
01, 03, 05 10k and 03, 05 5k
But if you ask who is the best distance running country.. the answer is always kenya
Ethiopia v kenya in 10k and 5k even on the mens side is close
Kenya has more 5k and ethio has more on 10k (6! World Titles between kenny and geb). last two decades we have taken 6 out of 8! in the 10k.. we own the kikuyus~!
Stop The Press. Mekdes was destroyed less than a year ago by a YOUNGER KENYAN and your already titling Mekdes the future (LOL). I must say she is an great talent but if the Kenyans ever find a way to get their talented youngster the same type of funding, support, and training and the Ethiopian women- a more balanced medal haul is the outcome.
