Ethiopia’s Meseret Defar denied her compatriot Tirunesh Dibaba the chance to add another title to the 10,000m crown she won a week ago, having taken gold in both events in Beijing.

Instead Defar, who won 5000m gold eight years ago in Athens, held off her challengers down the home straight to win in 15:04.25.

Kenya’s Vivian Cheruiyot was second, with Dibaba getting the bronze.

Dafar’s victory adds to Ethiopia’s medals, and continues to show Ethiopia as a top athletics country.

this moment was fantastic and very incredible….

One thought on “Ethiopia’s Meseret Dafar wins women’s 5000m in London

  1. Thank You Mrs. Meseret Dafar,

    You’re our Ethiopian Men & Women hereo, you’re our hero because once again like the one prior to you made us to lift up our head and say it loud yes, She’s Ethiopian oh, yeap she one I’m Ethiopian too. Because your hard work and victory with a great world achievement did not came easily. But you did not give up regardless of the difficulties life throw at you, if you fell you dust yourself off and you got up and faught again and I can see from your face the sweet tears and laughter and joy while you brought infront of the world the st. Marry picture and show how strong your faith was. I laughed and cried out of joy with you. I’m sure many of us sat and watched you from our home or in the arena and celebrated and thank GOD!

    But I want to remind our fellow brothers and uncles, fathers….how many are lost to the street of Addis who could have been Mrs. Meseret Dafar have we thought of it? I hope we’ll fight, fight it hard every where when a women is abused, sold her body for money,…women as well as men stand up and fight.

    Let us fight on behalf of so many possible Meseret, and Debaba lost in those dirty, fealthy nude clubs taking roots in our country, lets rally against them to close them for once and all. It’s not creating tomorrows bright nurses, engineers, doctors, teachers, …….or great journalists who awaken our consciousness…this are another meles agents who spread the aids disease, and corruption of our culture, and deteriorating the very strong Ethiopian spirit we have our belive in God and in who we are.

    Lets Join Hand & Fight, we can’t afford to stand by and watch. It may not be in you home today, but tomorrow when it surly come to you if shout no one will hear you, ’cause you’re not their for your neighbour. I pray to God that doesn’t happen to you!

    Thank You & God Bless!
