“Letesenbet Gidey’s Olympic Event Decision Looms: Will She Pursue 10,000m or 5,000m in Paris 2024?”
After the selection process for Ethiopia’s marathon team for the Olympics, Letesenbet Gidey, a prominent Ethiopian athlete, will be participating in the Olympics in Paris 2024. While the specific events she will compete in have not been confirmed, there are two possibilities that can be considered.
One option is that Letesenbet Gidey may choose to compete in the women’s 10,000 meters event. In this event, she would potentially face strong competition from notable athletes such as Sifan Hassan and Gudaf Tsegay Desta.
Alternatively, Letesenbet Gidey might decide to focus on the women’s 5,000 meters event instead. This event would also feature top-level competition, but the nature of the race is different from the 10,000 meters and may suit Gidey’s abilities and race strategy.
Ultimately, the decision regarding which event Letesenbet Gidey will participate in at the Olympics in Paris 2024 will be determined by her and her coaching team, taking into consideration various factors such as her training, form, and individual goals for the competition.
