“I wanted the world to know that my country, Ethiopia, has always won with determination and heroism.” – Abebe Bikila
On September 10, 1960, Abebe Bikila made history by not only winning the men's marathon at the Rome Olympics but by doing so barefoot, setting a world record of 2:15:16.2. His remarkable achievement marked Ethiopia's first Olympic gold medal and paved the way for future generations of East African runners.
Bikila’s legacy teaches us that greatness often comes from courage and breaking boundaries. Let his journey inspire you to chase your dreams with relentless determination and a fearless heart.
