🌍✨ What an incredible experience! In addition to running the Paris 2024 Mass Marathon, I had the honor of delivering a public lecture at Station Afrique, a vibrant hub promoting African culture and sport during Paris 2024, leading up to the 2026 Youth Olympics in Dakar, Senegal.

The audience was a wonderful mix of individuals from various African countries, including some fellow Ethiopians. It was inspiring to connect and share ideas with such a diverse group.

To add a bit of fun, we ended the lecture with a Q&A session, where a few international participants won t-shirts as prizes! 🎉 It was a memorable day filled with learning, culture, and celebration. Onward to more shared moments and connections! 🇪🇹

Tonight, under the sparkling Eiffel Tower, history beckons Selemon Barega. The 10,000-meter track is his battleground, a stage where legends are born. At a mere 24, this Ethiopian prodigy has a chance to etch his name alongside the titans of distance running – Haile Gebrselassie and Kenenisa Bekele. Can he double down on Olympic glory? The world watches with bated breath as this young lion prepares to roar.
Let the rhythm of his footsteps echo through the ages. Alongside the formidable Berihu Aregawi and Yomif Kejelecha, Ethiopia's hopes for a podium sweep soar. See you in Paris, Selemon! Ethiopia's heart races with you.
