Ethiopia

Ethiopia, renowned for its storied athletic tradition, faced challenging odds in Tokyo, not quite matching the heights achieved in Rio 2016.

However, the nation bounced back with an impressive performance at the 2023 World Athletics Championships, securing an impressive total of 9 medals. Notably, Gudaf Tsegay holds the world record in the Women’s 5000m, a testament to Ethiopia’s enduring excellence in long-distance running.

While their recent Olympic gold medal count may stand at one, thanks to Amaz Ayana’s victory in the Women’s 10,000m over the past two Olympics, Ethiopia’s athletes continue to captivate the world, showcasing a dedication to the sport that remains unmatched.
