Tsegezab spent just over three years in Scotland. He was not part of the World Cross country team but came to Scotland via France over the channel!   He lived in Shettleston.

He was a great guy and I still see him/talk to him on a regular basis – he calls Elaine and myself Aunt and Uncle. He moved to Leeds around 2011 and now lives in Birmingham driving a taxi. He has a brother and other family members there. He only runs to keep fit now. I think his best run was 63min run in Great Scottish Run 2009 – this got him into the top 20 in the world that year! No altitude training just training around the East End of Glasgow.
