Few knew about the rocky months leading up to the race, and assumed a DNF at the World Championships in Doha two months prior was a result of the brutally humid conditions. But this was not the case. “For the World Championship in Doha I was really, really prepared,” stressed Dereje, who was eager to bring home the gold for her Ethiopia. “We trained hard because I was representing my country for the first time and I wanted to bring something good to Ethiopia. But with about two weeks left I got saddled with a bone injury. After that, for one month I didn’t do any training. But because I trained so well for Doha it helped me in winning Valencia.”
