Ethiopian Athletics Federation Olympic Trial
Sat 1 May 2021
The short-course, downsized-field Ethiopian Men’s and Women’s Olympic Marathon Trials were held on 1 May 20km outside Addis Ababa.
The top-3 finishers in each trial are due to be selected to represent Ethiopia at the Olympic Games Marathons in Sapporo in 13 weeks’ time.
Kenenisa Bekele was a notable absentee from the men’s race, citing the short time until the Olympic race as a reason for his non-participation.
