[edit]

In 2021, Selemon won the Olympic candidate trial competition in Addis Ababa, recording a time of 27:58.5. He competed at several indoor track races in January and February, including a 7:26.10 3000 m, clocking him second place behind compatriot Getnet Wale. He became the third fastest performer in history over the indoor 3000 m with his performance, behind Kenya's Daniel Komen, who clocked 7:24.90 on 6 February 1998, and Wale, who won the race in 7:24.98.[7] Selemon next raced two indoor 1500 m races on the World Athletics Indoor Tour winning both, first at the Copernicus Cup in Toruń, Poland he clocked a 3:32.97 on 17 February, and then on 24 February, a 3:35.42 performance in Madrid, Spain. His performance in Toruń made him the eighth fastest performer of all time in the indoor 3000 m.[8] Selemon's first outdoor track 5000 m race of the year came in Bergamo, Italy on 12 May, where he clocked 13:02.47, beaten by Kenya's Mark Owon Lomuket.[9] Selemon next raced at the Ethiopian Trials in Hengelo, where he won the 10,000 m in a time of 26:49.51 [10] holding off Yomif Kejelcha who was second, Berihu Aregawi placed third. The race was tactical, with Selemon putting in surges and then slowing down before it came down to a last lap sprint finish.

On 30 July 2021, at the age of 21, Selemon won the 10,000 m at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, outsprinting world record holder Joshua Cheptegei and World Half Marathon champion Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda to win in 27:43.22.[11][12] Brutal humidity meant that the winning time of 27:43.22 was the slowest in an Olympic final since 1992, but Selemon's close was sublime as he ripped the last kilometer in 2:24.9 and last lap in 53.94.[13] This win made him the fourth Ethiopian to win the 10,000 m title at the Olympics, the other three being Kenenisa Bekele (2004, 2008), Haile Gebrselassie (1996, 2000), and Miruts Yifter (1980).[14]

Selemon Barega

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
Selemon Barega Shirtaga (born 20 January 2000) is an Ethiopian long-distance runner specializing in the 5000 metres and 10,000 metres events.[1][2] Hailing from the Gurage region in central Ethiopia, he rose to prominence as a junior athlete, winning the gold medal in the 5000 metres at the 2016 World U20 Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland, and securing additional junior titles including the World U18 3000 metres crown in 2017 and the African U20 5000 metres title that same year.[2][1] His breakthrough on the senior stage came in 2018 when he set a world under-20 record in the 5000 metres with a time of 12:43.02 at the Athletissima meeting in Lausanne, marking the fifth-fastest time ever recorded in the event, and later winning the Diamond League final in the discipline.[1][2] Barega's Olympic debut at the 2020 Tokyo Games (held in 2021) solidified his status as an elite competitor, as he claimed the gold medal in the 10,000 metres with a dramatic late surge to edge out Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei, becoming only the fourth Ethiopian to win the event after legends like Haile Gebrselassie and Kenenisa Bekele.[2][1] He followed this with a silver medal in the 5000 metres at the 2019 World Championships in Doha, a gold in the 3000 metres at the 2022 World Indoor Championships in Belgrade, and a personal best of 26:34.93 in the 10,000 metres set in Nerja, Spain, in June 2024.[2][1] At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Barega finished seventh in the 10,000 metres final with a time of 26:44.48, contributing to an all-African podium.[3] In 2023, he expanded his range by debuting in the half marathon, clocking a personal best of 57:50 at the Valencia Half Marathon, and served as a pacesetter for Eliud Kipchoge's sub-two-hour marathon attempt in 2019.[1][2] Trained under coach Hussein Shibo in Addis Ababa—the same mentor who guided Gebrselassie, Bekele, and Derartu Tulu—Barega grew up in a family of seven siblings, initially facing parental resistance to his athletic pursuits in favor of education, before his successes garnered their support and inspired local youth, including his younger brother.[2] By 2025, he had ventured into the marathon, winning his debut at the Seville Marathon with a time of 2:05:15 on 23 February, and in October winning the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon in 1:01:22, while finishing sixth in the 10,000 metres at the World Championships in Tokyo.[1][4][5][6] Barega's career exemplifies Ethiopia's enduring legacy in distance running, blending tactical racing prowess with relentless endurance.[2]

Early life and background

Early life

Selemon Barega was born on January 20, 2000, in a rural area of the Gurage Zone in the Central Ethiopia Regional State.[1][7] He grew up in a farming family with limited resources, the youngest of eight siblings—three sisters and four brothers—whose parents worked the land to grow cereals and sustain the household.[7][8] The family's home lacked modern amenities like a television or radio, isolating them from broader knowledge of sports or famous Ethiopian runners, and his parents prioritized education over athletic pursuits.[7] Barega's childhood unfolded in the rugged Ethiopian highlands, where daily chores such as fetching water from distant sources or traveling to the market naturally involved long runs across dirt paths, embedding physical endurance into his routine from an early age.[8] From around age seven, Barega attended a local school approximately 50 to 60 minutes' walk or run from home, making the twice-daily journey a formative part of his youth.[8] Physical activities at school, including participation in a local competition, first ignited his interest in organized sports, though running was not initially a family tradition.[7] Standing at 1.70 meters tall, Barega developed a lean build well-suited to the demands of distance running through these early experiences of farm labor and highland terrain.[9]

Introduction to athletics

Selemon Barega's introduction to competitive athletics came during his early teenage years in the rural Gurage Zone of the Central Ethiopia Regional State, where he began participating in school competitions around 2013 at the age of 13. Growing up on a family farm, Barega had been running long distances since childhood for practical tasks such as fetching water, attending market, and commuting to school, which was 50 to 60 minutes away on foot each way. His first race resulted in a second-place finish, sparking his interest in formal running despite the absence of an established athletics culture in the area.[8] Following successes in local school events and a zonal race victory, Barega joined a developmental project run by the Southern Police Club in the Gurage Zone, marking his entry into structured training. There, he engaged in basic high-altitude routines suited to Ethiopia's highlands, initially without dedicated coaches, relying on self-motivated efforts amid the challenges of balancing rigorous daily runs with school demands. His family, consisting of farmer parents and seven siblings, initially prioritized education over sport and opposed his involvement until his early medals shifted their support toward his athletic pursuits. Inspired by Ethiopian legends after later exposure, Barega drew motivation from the potential for running to improve his life prospects, having originally aspired to play football.[7][8] By 2015, at age 15, Barega earned selection to Ethiopia's youth squads through domestic junior meets and a project competition win, leading to his relocation to Addis Ababa for access to superior facilities and national training opportunities. This move exposed him to the rich history of Ethiopian distance running, where he first learned stories of icons like Kenenisa Bekele, admiring his speed upon viewing videos, and began integrating more advanced routines.[7][10]

Professional career

Breakthrough years (2017–2018)

In 2017, at the age of 17, Selemon Barega began transitioning from junior to senior competition with notable success on the African stage. He claimed gold in the 5,000m at the African U20 Championships in Tlemcen, Algeria, demonstrating his emerging prowess in middle-distance events.[11] Later that year, Barega excelled at the World U18 Championships in Nairobi, Kenya, where he won the 3,000m title in a personal best time of 7:47.16, outpacing a strong field including Kenyan runners in a tactical race that highlighted his finishing speed.[12] Barega's breakthrough extended to the senior level at the 2017 World Championships in London, where he made his debut in the 5,000m final, finishing fifth with a time of 13:35.34 amid a highly competitive field led by his compatriot Muktar Edris.[13] This performance marked his first major exposure against elite senior athletes, underscoring his potential as Ethiopia's next distance-running talent despite the challenging pace set by defending champion Mo Farah and others.[14] The following year, 2018, solidified Barega's status as a rising star. At the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham, England, the 18-year-old secured silver in the 3,000m, clocking 8:15.59 in a slow, tactical final where he surged in the closing meters to edge out Kenya's Bethwell Birgen by just 0.11 seconds, behind winner Yomif Kejelcha.[15] Outdoors, Barega set a world U20 record in the 5,000m with a time of 12:43.02 at the Diamond League final in Brussels, Belgium, surpassing the previous mark by over four seconds and ranking as the fourth-fastest performance ever in the event.[16] This achievement came during a season where he also defended his world U20 title contender status, though he placed fourth at the World U20 Championships in Tampere, Finland. Amid these accomplishments, Barega signed a sponsorship deal with Nike and joined an elite training group under coach Tolera Dinka, allowing him to train alongside top Ethiopian runners like Muktar Edris and Yomif Kejelcha, which enhanced his tactical and endurance development.[17] These years established Barega as a prodigious talent, blending junior dominance with senior competitiveness in high-stakes international meets.

Rise to prominence (2019–2020)

In 2019, Selemon Barega solidified his status as an elite middle-distance runner by securing silver in the men's 5,000 m at the World Athletics Championships in Doha, clocking 12:59.70 to finish just behind compatriot Muktar Edris, who retained his title in 12:58.85. This medal, Ethiopia's first in the event since 2017, highlighted Barega's maturation from his breakthrough 2018 performances, including his Diamond League 5,000 m title. Throughout the 2019 Diamond League circuit, Barega's consistent top finishes elevated his international profile, with standout results such as a world-leading personal best of 7:32.17 to win the 3,000 m in Oslo and a runner-up effort of 13:01.99 in the 5,000 m at Lausanne.[18] He also placed fifth in the 5,000 m at Zürich with 12:59.66, demonstrating reliability against top competition like Yomif Kejelcha and Joshua Cheptegei. These outings earned him recognition as the IAAF's Male Rising Star of the Year.[19] Entering 2020, Barega maintained momentum in the indoor season, finishing second in the 3,000 m at the Indoor Meeting Liévin with 7:33.49, trailing only Getnet Wale in one of the year's fastest times.[20] He also competed in other European indoor meets, including a third-place finish in the 3,000 m at the Villa de Madrid indoor tour stop.[21] The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the 2020 outdoor calendar, restricting Barega to limited competitions and shifting his emphasis toward intensive training and virtual events amid global lockdowns.[20] In one rare outdoor showcase, the rescheduled Golden Spike Ostrava, he took second in the 5,000 m with 12:49.08, leading much of the race before being overtaken on the final lap by Uganda's Jacob Kiplimo in a meeting record 12:48.63.[22] This period marked a tactical evolution for Barega, with race analyses noting his growing emphasis on powerful finishing surges, evident in his ability to contest leads against seasoned rivals like in Ostrava.[23] Concurrently, Barega prioritized enhanced endurance training regimens, laying groundwork for the postponed Tokyo Olympic cycle.[20]

Olympic and world championship success (2021–2023)

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, held in 2021, Selemon Barega secured the gold medal in the men's 10,000 metres with a time of 27:43.22, executing a dramatic surge on the final lap to overtake world record holder Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda by 0.41 seconds.[24][25] This victory marked Barega's first Olympic appearance and highlighted his tactical prowess in a race dominated by an all-African podium, with Ugandans Cheptegei and Jacob Kiplimo taking silver and bronze.[26] Building on his Olympic success, Barega claimed gold in the men's 3,000 metres at the 2022 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, clocking 7:41.38 to set a championship record and edge out compatriot Lamecha Girma by 0.25 seconds.[27] His explosive final lap of 26.03 seconds underscored his closing speed, securing Ethiopia's eighth indoor title in the event and completing a 1-2 finish for the nation.[28] At the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Barega earned bronze in the 10,000 metres with a time of 27:52.72, finishing behind gold medalist Joshua Cheptegei and silver medalist Daniel Simiu Ebenyo in a tightly contested race that saw two Ethiopians in the top four.[29][30] Barega's achievements during this period reflected his specialization in longer distances, transitioning from earlier successes in the 5,000 metres—where he held a personal best of 12:43.02—to a primary focus on the 10,000 metres, aided by training adjustments under coach Hussein Shibo that emphasized endurance building and tactical race simulations inspired by Ethiopian legends like Kenenisa Bekele.[2][7] These changes included increased volume in high-altitude sessions near Addis Ababa to enhance aerobic capacity for the demands of extended track races.[7] Nationally, Barega's Tokyo gold was celebrated as Ethiopia's first in the 10,000 metres since Bekele's 2008 Beijing triumph, prompting widespread media acclaim and a personal congratulatory message from Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on social media, symbolizing a resurgence in the country's distance running dominance.[31][32] Post-Olympics, Barega navigated minor setbacks, including recovery from fatigue-related issues, through structured rest periods and targeted physiotherapy, allowing him to return strongly for the 2022 indoor season without major disruptions.[27] This approach, combining traditional Ethiopian high-altitude training with modern recovery techniques, enabled consistent performance across championships despite the physical toll of his rapid rise.[2]

Recent competitions and marathon debut (2024–present)

In 2024, Selemon Barega secured a bronze medal in the men's 3,000 meters at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow, clocking a time of 7:43.64 to finish behind Great Britain's Josh Kerr and the United States' Yared Nuguse.[33] Later that year, at the Paris Olympics, Barega placed seventh in the 10,000 meters final with a time of 26:44.48, demonstrating sustained competitiveness despite a fast-paced field led by Kenya's Joshua Cheptegei.[34] Barega's 2025 season began with a successful transition to longer distances, as he made his marathon debut at the Zurich Maraton de Sevilla on February 23, winning the elite men's race in 2:05:15 as a 25-year-old Ethiopian debutant.[4] This victory highlighted his adaptability from track to road racing, where he pulled away solo in the latter stages despite not challenging the course record.[35] At age 25 and following peak track achievements, Barega entered the marathon to explore new challenges and build endurance for potential future races, expressing intent to return to the distance with greater experience.[35] Returning to the track for the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Barega finished sixth in the 10,000 meters with a time of 28:57.21, impacted by a tactical race that favored slower pacing and positioning over outright speed.[6] Barega's sponsorship shifted in early 2025 from Nike to the Chinese brand Li-Ning, debuting their Feidan 5 Elite shoe during his marathon win and continuing into his track season.[36] Under this new affiliation, he maintains high-altitude training in Ethiopia, positioning him for further marathons or a track resurgence in upcoming cycles.[37]

This progression underscores his versatility, with the U20 record in the 5000m remaining unbroken and highlighting his early dominance in junior competitions.[16][38]

National and circuit titles

Selemon Barega has secured multiple victories in Ethiopian national selection trials, particularly in the 5,000m and 10,000m events, which serve as the primary qualifiers for major international competitions. In June 2022, he won the Ethiopian 10,000m trials in Hengelo, Netherlands, clocking 26:44.73 to earn his spot for the World Athletics Championships in Eugene. These trial successes, spanning from 2018 to 2023, have consistently positioned him on Ethiopia's national team for events like the Olympics and World Championships, highlighting his dominance in domestic competition. For the 2025 World Championships, selection was based on prior performances without dedicated trials.[39] In the Wanda Diamond League circuit, Barega claimed the 2018 men's 5,000m Diamond Trophy with key victories, including the season finale in Brussels where he set a world under-20 record of 12:43.02. His circuit performances also include wins in 2024, such as the Los Angeles Grand Prix 5,000m in 12:51.61 and the Suzhou meeting 5,000m, contributing to strong series points and underscoring his consistency in elite non-championship races. The COVID-19 pandemic limited opportunities in 2020 and 2021, but Barega rebounded with additional Diamond League podiums post-2022.[40][41] Beyond the Diamond League, Barega has notched victories in other prominent European and international meets. He won the 3,000m at the 2018 Ostrava Golden Spike in 7:37.53 and the 2022 Madrid Indoor Meeting in 7:41.38, the latter part of the World Athletics Indoor Tour. In 2020, he secured the 3,000m at the Düsseldorf Indoor Meet with a strong final lap. These results demonstrate his prowess in high-level circuit events outside major championships.[42][43] Barega holds the Ethiopian national under-20 record in the 5,000m at 12:43.02, set during his 2018 Diamond League final win in Brussels, which also stands as the African under-20 and world under-20 record. No senior national records are attributed to him in the 5,000m or 10,000m events.[1] His national trial victories have directly facilitated selections for global events, such as the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and 2022 World Championships, where top-three finishes in Ethiopia's rigorous trials guarantee team spots amid intense domestic competition.[44]
