Tamirat Tola Abera (born 11 August 1991) is an Ethiopian Olympic and world champion long-distance runner who competes in track, road and cross country events.[1] He won gold medal in the marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics, setting an Olympic record[2] and the bronze medal in the 10,000 metres at the 2016 Rio Olympics.[3] Tamirat competed in the marathon at the 2017 and 2022 World Athletics Championships, earning silver and gold, respectively, setting a championship record at the latter in the process.[4][5] He finished third at both the 2021 Tokyo and 2023 London Marathon and won the 2023 New York City Marathon, breaking the course record.[6][7][8]

Career

At 22 in the Czech Republic, Tola won the 2013 České Budějovice Half Marathon in a time of 1:02:24.[9] That same year, also in the Czech Republic, he further improved to 1:01:27 at the Ústí nad Labem Half Marathon, taking fourth place.[10] Then in 2014, he finished the high-profile Dubai Marathon in fourth place with a time of 2:06:17.[11][12]

In February 2015 in Addis Ababa, the relative newcomer Tola won the 32nd Jan Meda International Cross Country event, a 12-km race which he finished in 35:08 in a photo-finish with Bonsa Dida. This led to his selection for the 2015 IAAF World Cross Country Championships in March of that year.[13][14] Making his international debut, he took sixth place in the senior race which helped the Ethiopians narrowly take the team title on equal points with Kenya (Muktar Edris, Hagos Gebrhiwet and Atsedu Tsegay were the other point-scoring team members).[15][16] He had mixed fortunes in the rest of the season: he failed to finish the 2015 Berlin Marathon but set bests of 60:08 minutes for the half marathon and 27:22.64 minutes for the 10,000 metres.[17]

Several good performances on the circuit in late 2015/early 2016 led to wins at the Cross Internacional de Itálica, Cross International de la Constitución, Boclassic and Great Ethiopian Run.[17] He was part of the national team setup in 2016, this time for the 2016 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships. He was again an essential team member with his fifth-place finish in a time of 60:06 minutes, pushing Ethiopia (through Abayneh Ayele, Tamirat, and Mule Wasihun) to the team silver medals.[18]

In 2017, Tamirat participated in the World Championships held in London, earning the silver medal in the marathon with a time of 2:09:49.[19][20]

In 2022, he went one better in the marathon at the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon, winning gold and setting a championship record of 2:05:36 in the process.[21]

In 2023, he won the New York City Marathon with a course record time of 2:04:58.[22][23][24]

In 2024, he won the Olympic marathon title in Paris with an Olympic Record time of 2:06:26. Tamirat was a late addition to the Ethiopian National Team due to injury of Sisay Lemma.[25]
