I wasn’t much prepared for this competition, but I won, Utura said. Before the race, I heard that both women and men athletes are going to start the race together and feared not to be pushed and fall. But we started the race separately from the Addis Ababa stadium and I am happy with that. [The new course] was easy until past the halfway point, but it is a little bit difficult starting from the Gotera Bridge and it was a bit windy.Youngster Azmeraw Bekele came into the race on the back of a domestic record that included victories in the national Cross Country championships in February and a win in the Ethiopian 15km championships in Adama last month.But running against an equally-young, but ambitious group of athletes, he had to work harder for victory here.
