Answer 1

Answer:

On the day after the 2009 ING New York City Marathon, race director Mary Wittenberg introduced her women's champion, Derartu Tulu, as "A towering figure not only in the world of running, but among women leaders." It may have sounded like an overstatement for any other runner, but Tulu herself provided the evidence when asked about the reception her victory would receive at home.

With a broad smile, Tulu explained, "When I was training, and a lot of Ethiopians back home would see me, they would ask me: ‘Where have you been? We would love to see you back’. I asked them, 'There are so many other runners, what do you expect from me?'"

"They say they long to see me and Haile doing great things again," she went on. "I realized how much they still expect from me. So I started to tell them: 'Wait a little while for me and I may be able to accomplish something.'"

One of the pioneers

Tulu's race in New York came more than 17 years after she first gained the world's attention. In the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, at the age of 20, Tulu became the first Ethiopian woman to win an Olympic gold medal in the 10,000m final. She defeated South African Elana Meyer in the first Olympics after South Africa's return from their apartheid-era ban, and when Tulu waited for Meyer beyond the finish line and the pair took their lap of honour together, it created one of the lasting images of Olympic history.
