Happy Eid-al-Adha 2021!
The Tokyo Olympic is here. Today will we will commemorate one of the Olympic Hero Fatuma Roba.
The journey has ended!
Fatuma Roba's two-decades-long tireless contribution to the athletic platform was concluded on April 17, 1999, at the Boston Marathon and this dramatic photograph was her last footprint.
On this final day, a moment after the announcer announced Fatuma’s last appearance in the world of athletics, a young Ethiopian fan suddenly ejected out of the crowd to hand over Fatuma the Ethiopian flag.
This is how the stunning Fatuma ended her time in the field of sport and waved at the world goodbye.
