Abdi Bile

[Xaawotaako]

History that was thought to us was also this, the great Abdi Bile. I don’t know what happened to him, but he was a legend that I’ve heard my family speak about. Every time the Olympics or running competition comes up? They mention this guy. I never knew the big deal, but now I get it, thanks to YouTube.
