GUDAF TSEGAY WIN THE GOLD GALA FERNANDA IN PORTUGAL
Gudaf Tsegay’s range becomes frightening as the Ethiopian made her 10000m debut, posting a stunning 29:39.42 to win the event at the Gold Gala Fernanda in Portugal, the fastest debut by a woman over the distance and the 5th fastest in history! She took on the race from 1500m and ran the rest of the race out front by herself.
Kalkidan Gezahegne who finished 2nd herself, smashed the Bahraini National Record (NR), running 29:50.77, making for the 2nd fastest debut in history and in her first race since September 2018 by good measure.
Tsegay also becomes the first woman to break 2 minutes over 800m and 30 minutes over 10000m within the same year
