In this section, Tirunesh will write a fortnightly blog on her life, on the track, and on her activities.
From childhood to present day, this is the story that made Tirunesh a world class athlete.
Welcome
Hi there! My name is Tirunesh Dibaba and welcome to my official website.
For those of you who don't know me, I am the double Olympic 5000m and 10000m champion; four-time world champion over the 5000m and 10000m; and a world record holder over the indoor and outdoor 5000m. In 2003, I was the youngest ever individual gold medalist at a world championship and also a three-time world cross country champion.
I hope this website gives you, my loyal fan, the chance to know more about me and my career. For the next two weeks, we will also have a special section featuring news and information about my wedding to Sileshi Sihine. Feel free to browse across all sections and don't forget to post a comment on my guestbook.
Tirunesh Dibaba has been named to both the 5000m and 10000m Ethiopian teams for the 12th IAAF World Championships in Berlin, Germany (15-23 August 2009).
