Meseret Defar Wins Women's 5000m Gold - London 2012 Olympics

Ethiopia's Meseret Defar claims gold in the women's 5000m event at the London 2012 Olympic Games. (10 August 2012).
Vivian Cheruiyot of Kenya won silver in the event with Defar's compatriot Tirunesh Dibaba claiming the bronze medal.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

CONGRATS DEFAR.. YOU ARE SOO INSPIRATIONAL ..YOU MADE MEWIN FOR MY 2000M.. EVENTHOUGH MY RACE WAS A SHORT DISTANCE IT STILL HELPED ME..

[@christianguignard9980]

Such a splendid race is so beautiful ! Everyone deserved so much and the final lap and last 100 meters is full of worthy women. But most of all, after winning, tears of Meseret Defar are so authentic, and she thanks Maria and Jesus, in kissing her little icon. Today, as we all live misery and dramas, it is a great sign of dignity and hope and faith.

We always win when we put st marry in our heart. I can tell that how you believe in the mother of Jesus Christ. May God shower you blessing

[@vivacious-hq1bx]

she won because she practiced all the time, and is very good at what she does, not because she had a picture of mary and jesus with her.

[@happyemoji6553]

She didn’t win because of that picture lady. That’s just what you wanna believe but it’s fine if it makes you feel better.

[@NetiNeti-gm5bz]

God helped her with her mindset. Something worked esp if you faced adversity
