Norwegian interest for Haile Gebresellassie
06.07.2009 //
The Norwegian journalist Marit Karlsen visited Ethiopia recently to write on the success of Ethiopian long distance runners, in particular Haile Gebreselassie.
Marit Karlsen works for the Stayer Magazine in Oslo and plans to make a feature article on the Ethiopian running legend, Haile Gebreselassie. Through interviews and following him in training she got a good insight into the personality of the popular runner.
She also visited Asella in Arsi where so many of the best Etiopian runners come from and saw the plot for the planned Academy for Running.
