Their story
Tirunesh Dibaba is the most decorated female distance runner in Olympic history. Known as the 'Baby-Faced Destroyer', she is a triple Olympic gold medallist (5,000 m and 10,000 m at Beijing 2008; 10,000 m at London 2012) and five-time World Cross Country champion. Her world record in the 10,000 m stood for over a decade. Born in the small village of Bekoji — which has produced more distance running champions per capita than anywhere on Earth — she is proof that greatness can emerge from anywhere.
