Biography

After qualifying for the London Olympics in 2012, Dibaba disappointingly missed her first chance at an Olympic medal. However, opportunity came again in 2015, and she finished first at the World Championships. In 2016, she finished 3rd at the Rio Olympic Games. However, now that the top two women in the marathon have failed doping tests, her Olympic medal will be upgraded to gold.
