Atlet dari negara miskin di dunia iaitu dari Ethiopia setakat ini telah memenangi 2 pingat emas di Olimpik London 2012. Salah seorang darinya ialah Tiki Gelana, atlet marathon yang bukan sahaja menang emas, malah memecahkan rekod dunia. Jurulatih Tiki Gelana hanyalah seorang bekas guru sekolah. Dan diet mereka hanyalah makan barli. Apakah atlet, pegawai sukan, persatuan sukan kita terlalu dimanjakan atau terlalu banyak politikking?
London 2012: Tiki Gelana's Olympic marathon win a hometown triumph
Sunday 5 August 2012 19.17 BST
Ethiopia's Tiki Gelana breaks the ribbon on the Mall to win the London 2012 women's marathon in 2hr 23min 07sec.
Meanwhile, Ethiopia's Tiki Gelana fell to the ground, picked herself up, brushed herself down and won the gold medal. Gelana is yet another runner from the tiny 17,000-strong town of Bekoji, which has produced six world champions and five Olympic gold medallists, all trained by the former schoolteacher Sentayehu Eshetu. Kenya's Priscah Jeptoo won silver and Russia's Tatyana Petrova Arkhipova bronze.
Earlier this year I visited Bekoji, 9,220ft above sea level, and asked the coach if he had the magic touch. He looked confused, hurt even, and said there was no question of magic – the success of his athletes was down to a diet of barley, hard work and running at altitude.
After the victory ceremony, when Bekoji and Eshetu were mentioned in the press conference, her face lit up. "Bekoji produces athletes on a daily basis," she said. "Running is a lifestyle in Bekoji and I am part of that."
