I am very happy for the sweep. I wanted my teammates to run well, too. I am proud of Ethiopia and Africa,

I tried to chase the world record today but just before 3,000 meters, I got a cramp on the right side of my stomach which stopped me from running as fast as I wanted to,

I wanted to win both races and I did. I am planning to do that next time, too.

I wanted to be first here and I felt quite confident that I could do it,

I knew that I could win in the last lap, with about a half-lap left. I knew I had better finishing speed, so I was not demoralized to see her taking the lead. I wasn't feeling very well. I had some stitches, and that was the reason (for letting her hold the lead). I won with God's will, and it was very hard...I hope to take many more medals in cross country.
