Just spoke to the guy, who identified himself as Mearg Mekonen, after he was let back into the stadium. He came to Hayward Field just for the women’s 5000m race.
“I kissed her feet on behalf of the whole Tigrayan people.”
Good morning #Tigray:
Land of history
Land of mystery
Land of Ras Alula
Land of Adwa
Of Soloda Mountains
Land of fearless
Land of brave
Land of resilient
Land of perseverance
Land of fair & just
Land of heroes
