I’m satisfied with my second place finish, what matters most was to finish within 1-2 bracket. I will go back and work hard in training to ensure I do well in Tokyo. I’m really not bothered much with Ethiopians, as a team we will deliver good results.

I am so happy, it was the only medal I missed in my cabinet.

I tried to be patient and wait for the right time to happen...Today was my time.

In a marathon, anything can happen.
