Weini Kelati was born in a small village in Eritrea. She sought asylum in the U.S. and became a citizen three years ago. Now, she's representing the U.S. at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Growing up, Kelati said, kids in her village had to walk four to five hours to get to school every day - or to run, if they were tardy. When she ran at school, though, she uncovered a hidden talent, outrunning her classmates and even older kids. She stayed in the U.S. after her skills took her to the World Junior Championships in Eugene, Oregon, 10 years ago, and Kelati finally cemented her Olympic dreams with a first place finish at team trials in June. "I just want to race hard and have the best results in my life," she said. "I wanted to be one of the runners that I used to watch in TV, you know?"

Congratulations sister ❤❤

Viva Eritrea 🇪🇷 👏👏🤙🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷

Proud of you Orthodox Christian Eritrea people God bless 🙏 America and Orthodox Christian Eritrea

Congratulations my eritrea sister

Why dont you represent Eritrea instead.....remember in America NO matter what you are second citizen don't full your self sister!

Thanks the west for giving all these opportunities for me and my people to shine in all sorts of life. If we were still back in home country, we couldn’t have gotten all the success and possibily we would be among the major oppressed people in that unlucky and disgraceful country

Congratulations Weini

Congatulations Weini.

Superb performance Weini Kelati !! You are the pride of your host country and Eritrea! Way to go Bravo! To add a bit, Most Eritreans wherever strive for excellence in their given vocation! under the Almighty, we are the pride of our nation and Africa ! Even before the war for liberation, the highest scholastic distinction at Addis Ababa University and Alemayah were won by Eritreans. Of course, there are always a few who bring shame unfortunately! For the moment, Biniam Girmai and Weini are the Haben (Pride) of Africa/Eritrea!
