funny but true, abeshas don’t like anything cold! But, Ere gud fela, Ethi’s are not used to anything less than winning the gold medal, so most of these guys need to do better next time! Misganaw’s story cracked me up though, “At the finish line the announcer said, ‘Yesterday’s winner is second today,’ and I said ‘What?’ The bicycle guy was upset too, and apologized. I smiled, but wanted to cry. I told the winner, ‘You’re lucky,’ and she said, ‘I know.’” It’s even funnier that the race official riding his bike didn’t even see the winner slip by. If I was running, I would just take a taxi to the finish line and run the rest of the way because no one would have noticed

BTW, great reporting by Jason!
