Text Box: and rebirth of a sovereign nation of people. Congratulation goes to the country for receiving 3 gold medals in the 2008 Olympics held in Beijing with the highest titles of the fastest running athletes on the planet. Surly legendary champion elders like Mamo Wolde, Haile Gebrselassie and Abebe Bikila lead the foundation for achievement for their successors Kenenisa Bekele and Tirunesh Dibaba to win gold medals in one of the world’s highest level of competitions.
