Tirunesh Dibaba - The greatest female distance runner ever .... - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jan 05, 2013
DESCRIPTION:
Tirunesh Dibaba (nick named "the baby face destroyer") interview with CNN .. The greatest female long distance athlete of our time next her cousin Derartu Tulu...I think...
Since women began running 10,000 meters in the Olympics in 1988 and 5000 meters in 1992, no woman had defended her Olympic title at either distance until Dibaba crushed the field on the last lap earlier in these Games. The medal was the fourth at those distances (including a bronze at 5000 meters in 2004) in her career, already surpassing the three earned by her Ethiopian compatriots Derartu Tulu and Gete Wami; a fifth of any color in the 5000 would move her past even the great Kenenisa Bekele's four.

In addition to her four Olympic medals thus far, consider Dibaba's resume:

4-time IAAF World Champion (10,000m 2005 and 2007, 5000m 2003 and 2005)
4-time IAAF World Cross Country Champion
World record-holder, 5000m and 15K
Former world record-holder, 3000m indoors
Undefeated in her nine career 10,000m races

If you knew less about about Tirunesh, I am sure, now you are saying Wowwwwwwwww !!!
