Zurich. Private she has gone through a divorce and on the court, she has struggled with stomach problems, injuries and a tough new opponent who defeated her repeatedly.
But, once in place in Zurich has Abeba Aregawi, 24, just focus on one thing:
– What do you think I think? The gold !, she laughs when she meets the press two days before the European Championships.
There was a noticeably relaxed and happy Abeba Aregawi who just come to Zurich. Along with prompt Wessen Beshah she told about a rare untoward season.
She comes here without her former husband Henok Weldegebriel, she still says her trainer in Ethiopia. According to head coach Karin Tower Klint, it’s a decision made by Ababa itself is fårordig regarding how the private problems affected her running.
– Of course it affects private as well. But there is nothing I want to go back and think about, but it affects, she says.
“I was stressed out”
But the losses against the Dutch Sifan Hassan in July believes she caused more of the medications she had taken against stomach problems, among other things, caused her to vomit just before the World Championship trials in Moscow.
– it is enough if it happened before Paris. I was pretty stressed, it was probably about the trips, I was exhausted, and then I had taken medicine for the stomach as well, she says:
– I think the medication was pretty strong, so you need to rest. But I did not rest, but practiced all the time, and when I raced it became a vicious
After the races in the United States has Aregawi stopped taking the medication, but the stomach is much better, she says. But just when everything felt good, she went on a foot injury just days for SM in early August.
– I twisted my ankle.
– I took it easy in four days, but then I tried to run more and more.
“Not playing the role of …”
How has it affected the shape?
– I was in good shape before it happened so I do not think it has made much difference.
Good form requires Abeba Aregawi be in if she’ll beat Sifan Hassan tops world best list. But no war of words is hardly to be expected, Aregawi is careful to point out that there are more runners in the race and she focuses on herself.
– She is strong, but nothing is impossible.
– All contenders will compete on the same terms, they would be best for his country. I want to be the best for my country and we go into the race with the same desire.
When asked what she thinks of this as two days before the 1500-meter trials she begins almost laugh out loud before she answers:
– What do you think I think? The gold!
