Tola's gold medal is a spectacular victory for the marathon world around the world, thanks to his extraordinary will and determination.
Fans of this sport all know that Tola won the 2023 New York Marathon. However, initially, he was not on the list of Ethiopian Marathon athletes at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Two weeks before the match, he was chosen to replace the injured key star Sisay Lemma.
Tola's victory made him the first Ethiopian male runner to win the Olympic marathon race after the success of athlete Gezahegne Abera in Sydney (Australia) 24 years ago.
Meanwhile, the 100m gold medal of Noah Lyles - a 27-year-old American athlete - brought fans a dramatic performance.
With a start that lacked the explosiveness and resilience of his rivals, however, in the final few meters he somehow overtook the 23-year-old Jamaican, finishing his race and taking home highest position at the 2024 Olympic finals.
