Yomif Kejelcha Sets World Lead in Ethiopian Olympic Trials 10,000m

Ethiopian athlete Yomif Kejelcha has set a blistering pace at the Ethiopian Olympic Trials held in Nerja (Spain), smashing the world lead in the men's 10,000 meters with a remarkable time of 26:31.01. This outstanding performance not only secured Kejelcha a victory but also showcased his dominance on the track leading up to the Tokyo Olympics.

Kejelcha faced stiff competition from fellow athletes Berihu Aregawi, who finished closely behind with a time of 26:31.13, and Selemon Barega, securing third place with 26:34.93. Their impressive runs underscore Ethiopia's depth in long-distance running and set a high standard as they prepare for international competition.

In a separate feat at the Ethiopian Trials, Biniam Mehary achieved a notable milestone by breaking the world U20 10,000m record with a time of 26:37.93, further highlighting Ethiopia's rich talent pool in athletics.

The performances of Kejelcha, Aregawi, Barega, and Mehary mark an exciting chapter in Ethiopian track and field, with expectations running high as they gear up for the Tokyo Olympics later this year.
