Ethiopian Runner Takes Gold in Women's 10,000 meter

Go, Ethiopia! Boy, did we have the Olympic fever this afternoon. Tirunesh Dibaba of Ethiopia won the Gold in the Women's 10,000 meter final in Beijing. On top of that, Dibaba also broke some type of world record! How exciting! Here we are in Ethiopia and we get to experience one of their favored athletes take the Gold! Yes, we must admit...we were pulling for her. :)Congrats to Shalane Flanagan of the USA on taking third place and the Bronze.

The Compassion team hurried back to the hotel to watch the much-talked-about Olympic event with some of our Ethiopian brothers in Christ.
