Ethiopia at The Olympics

Ethiopians have been dominating long distance running over the past few years, so it was no huge surprise today when Tirunesh Dibaba took Gold in the 10,000 meter race.  She broke 30 minutes and came in at 29 minutes 54.66seconds.  She also is only the second woman in history to break the 30 minute barrier.   The silver medalist was Elvan Abeylegesse who is an Ethiopian native, but running for Turkey.
