🏃 የምንጊዜም ከባድ በሆነው የማራቶን ሩጫ ኢትዮጵያዊው ታምራት ቶላ በማራቶን ወርቅ የኦሎምፒክ ክብረ ወሰን ሰበረ።
👏👏👏
❖<የዮሐንስ ወንጌል ምዕራፍ ፩፥፭>❖ "ብርሃንም በጨለማ ይበራል፥ ጨለማም አላሸነፈውም።"
👉 አሁን ታምራት ያገኘውን ወርቅ ቆሻሻው ግራኝ አብዮት አህመድ አሊ እንዳይነጥቀው እና ለባቢሎን ኤሚራት አጋሩ አሳልፎ እንዳይሸጥበት ይጠንቀቅ!
😇 በምንወደው ሐዋርያ በቅዱስ ዮሐንስ በዛሬው ዕለት አንዳንድ ተዓምራት በተለያዩ አጋጣሚዎች ተገልጠው እየታዩን ነው።
የናይጄሪያ ዝርያ ያለባት ጀርመናዊቷ እኅታችን የኦሎምፒክ ወርቅ አሎሎ ውርወራዋን ከማከናወኗ በፊት በጥልቅ ፀሎት ታደርስ ነበር። የኦሎምፒክ ቻምፒዮን መሆኗን እንዳወቀችም ወዲያው የሚከተለውን የቅዱስ ዮሐንስን መጽሐፍ ቅዱሳዊ ጥቅስ ከሁለት ሳምንታት በፊት በአምላካችን በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ላይ ከተሳለቁበት የፓሪስ ስታዲየም ለመላው ዓለም አሳይታለች።
❖<የዮሐንስ ወንጌል ምዕራፍ ፫፥፲፮>❖ “በእርሱ የሚያምን ሁሉ የዘላለም ሕይወት እንዲኖረው እንጂ እንዳይጠፋ እግዚአብሔር አንድያ ልጁን እስኪሰጥ ድረስ ዓለሙን እንዲሁ ወዶአልና።”
እን ታምራት ቶላም እንደነ ዬሚሲ ኦጉንሌዬ፣ እንደ አሜሪካዊቷ ሲድኒ ማክላውግሊን ብሎም ቀደም ሲል እንደ እኅት መሠረት ደፋር ተመሳሳይ መልዕክት ለማስተላለፍ ቢደፍሩ ድላቸው በይበልጥ ጎልቶ ይታይ ነበር።
Until the final week of July, Tamirat Tola wasn’t even supposed to be in Paris this summer.
And yet the 32-year-old found himself hurling his body through the idyllic streets of Paris, past the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, as he won the men’s marathon gold medal in Olympic record time.
Despite running on the most challenging course in Olympic marathon history, Tola’s time of 2 hours, 6.26 seconds beat the previous the record set by Kenya’s Samuel Wanjiru (2:06.32) by six seconds.
“I am happy today because I fulfilled my goal," Tola said. "I prepared well. I trained hard so I could win. In my life, this is my great achievement.”
Most astonishingly of all, Tola only found out recently that he was bound for Paris. On July 26, it was announced that Tola, the 2023 New York Marathon winner, would step in as a replacement for Sisay Lemma on the Ethiopian Olympic marathon team —Lemma had been forced to withdraw due to injury.
Tola is a second-time Olympian — he took 10,000m bronze in Rio and now joins rare air as a medalist in two distance events. His still-growing résumé also includes a 2022 world title in the marathon, plus top-three finishes at the Tokyo and London Marathons.
Now, he can add some gold to the list.
