Dr. Tadesse Zerihun Friday, 11/17/00, 10:30 AM Dear sons and daughters of Mother Ethiopia: Thank you so much for the wonderful inputs you made in
Sydney, Australia. As expected, you did not only talk the talk on behalf of us Ethiopians, ... you did surely walk the necessary walk that placed Ethiopia second to the USA, First in
Africa and 20th in the world when it comes to the number of medals collected. This is the first of its kind in the history of Ethiopian athletics. Needless to say, like any other
Ethiopian, I'm glad, happy and thrilled to see the Ethiopians becoming world class athlets. Particularly, Haile Gebre Sellasie, Derartu Tulu, Fatuma Roba, Gete Wami, Gezahegn Abera,
Million Abebe and all others who presented their good selves for the olympic competition deserve our worm and heartfelt congratulations!! Dear Haile Gebre Sellassie and all other
athlets of mother Ethiopia, allow me to take this occasion, not only to extend this expression of my concern for your daily condition at work, ... but also of my intentions to offer
votive prayers to the all- mighty "God-of-Ethiopia", that you continue to expeditiously maintain good health in your daily labors which you have already dedicated to the
pursuit of those laboring to see some light at the end of the tunnel of Greater Ethiopia. Obviously, Haile Gebre Sellasie's, and other athlet's contributions (although of different
magnitudes and of different natures and degrees), ... are a veritable 'sin qua non' to the ongoing endless struggle to attain the ever-lasting good name to Ethiopia, origin of
mankind, civic- humanity, and symbol of freedom and national pride. In deed and very truly indeed, your dedication for the objectives of raising Ethiopia's unique social, cultural,
historic, and archeological assets through your determined athletic efforts are likely to be one of the pivotal and vital corner stones to the the new generation of Ethiopians, ...
not only for those born in Mother Ethiopia but also to even glorify the athletic treasures and historical wealth in the rest Africa. For whilst the importance of such serious,
critical, nationalist and professional ventures as your's and few other serious Ethiopians can not be overstated ... who could deny the fact that "the venture of life
itself" is of far greater value than are those life sustaining and comfort supporting professional and athletic ventures (the value of which can not be equated to the value of
life itself). Rest assured, in order to succeed, although Mother Ethiopia has a situation piled high with grievance, we have to move beyond such blames. We've got to focus on what we
are going to do tomorrow and the next day and the next day. In this regard, your active participation in and making your non-stop contribution for raising Ethiopia's name and that of
Africa, helps build bridges beyond ethnic feelings in beloved and ancient Ethiopia. Indeed and very truly indeed, I have the confidence that you have yet a lot more to provide in your
athletic efforts of introducing Ethiopia's unique and yet brave sons and daughters, who attempt to unveil the glories and agonies of Ethiopia, the origin and home of mankind and
civic-humanity. So let me thank you very very very much for what you did in Sydney by introducing Ethiopia's name to the global public, ... and for this noble contribution you made
... not only to the Ethiopian community in diaspora, but also to those at home, now and in the future. In this respect, let me expeditiously express my acknowledgment of your
contribution and how grateful I felt for your inputs. It is then dear Haile Gebre Selassie and other athlets, ... with this deep sited re-affirmation of my personal concerns and my
appreciation for your inputs that I herein extend this expression of my felicitation of this very day to you and to your beloved family members, as I usuall From: Boston, MA, USA~ lula Friday, 11/17/00, 10:26 AM good web,good work,good result keep it up From: windsor canada ~

for the first time. As usual noticing my unique face and style among the crowd on a certain event, I was asked from where I am from. I replied I am from Ethiopia. This time I did not
need to explain why we are in war or why there is hunger in my country. But the inquirer with loud voice said "A COUNTRY OF GREAT RUNNERS!" and grasped my hand with a warm
shake and congratulated me. Luckly that individual knows all about out athlets including their name and the topic then after among the crowd was about the heroic achievements of
Ethiopis at olympics from the time of Abebe Bikela. Thank you our athlets for lighting out pride in the foreign land and letting us loudly speak out our origin. May God Bless You!

The family of "The late Yidnekatchew Tessema"
congratulates all the Ethiopian athletes who courageously represented their beloved country at "Sydney 2000" In line with the foundemental principles of olympism, which the late Yidnekatchew cherished and promoted to the last day of His life participation is more important than the medals. However, he would have been very proud and happy with the amazing results Ethiopian heroes-Derartu Tulu, Halie Gebeselalssie, Gezahegne Abera, Million Wolde, Gete Wami, Assefa Mezgebu and Tesfaye Tola registered at "Sydney 2000". These great victories have strengthened the unity of the people of Ethiopia, regardless of the ethnic religious, and political groups they belong to. Yidnekatchew always believed that unity is the basic ingridient for nation building. "Unity" has been strengthened by the out-standing performance and results of our heroes in Sydney. The family congragulates all Ethiopians and the athletes on his behalf.

Dear Ethiopian Athlethes: It has been a very long time since I have been dreaming about Ethiopia being the top of the world in at least one thing that the later can not
deny, ignore or be indifferent, although deep in my heart I always believe that Ethiopia is the top of the world in many aspects.You are who made Ethiopia to be so !!! I do
not have any other words to express my feelings towards you or your heroic acts. I followed every one of the runs where one or other of you were involved and I had never
been so excited in my life. Especially during the Marathon event I was beyond my self when I saw Gezahegn passed the finish line and I said "It is finally back to where it
belongs and where it should be !!!" - I was referring to the Olympic Marathon Title. I am very proud in my Ethiopianness, but I could never ever be more proud than this time.
May God bless you and always keep up your esprits !!! Asfawossen Asrat Nancy, France From: France Web Site:

Thursday, 10/5/00, 8:03 AM ~ Tadele Yidnekatchew Thursday, 10/5/00, 7:32 AM In my opinion the most
out-standing track and field athlete at Sydney was "Haile G\Selassie". He had won the 10,000 meteres race despite an injury that reduced his ability significantly.
Furthermore it is his second consecutive Olympic gold in the 10,000 meters. He had also proved to the world that he is the best by winning almost all competitions he
participated in, in the past six years. From: Ethiopia Web Site: www.yidcon.com.

Our Dear Athletes, What can I say to you ? You made us all proud and reminded us that through hardwork, dedication and love people can achieve anything. At this point
in time, when Ethiopia means famine, hunger, war etc.. your achievements showed the world that Ethiopia also is a country of best athletes and, despite its hardships,
Ethiopia is dear and near to our hearts and minds - we ETHIOPIANS! PS My apologies for not writing in Amharic. Milion From: London ~
