On Wednesday evening, athletes from Ethiopia landed in Addis Ababa. At the World Athletics Championship in Eugene, Oregon, Ethiopia finished second with 10 medals, four of which were gold (USA).
The accomplishment is highly praised, as well as the athletes and the management team under Derartu Tulu. In accordance with tradition, the athletes return home throughout the day, which is convenient for Addis Abeba’s street festivals. Given that the city government has recently reported security problems, there may also be a security factor at play this time.
