This is para cycling 800m Feminine final held in the World Athletic Championship meeting. Normally the Para meeting is held end the end the main one. South Korea made the first precedent by considering the pra athletes one and the same with the others. We have dedicated this video for the Eritrean Pra athletes we have trained for over 5 years and who never made it to this meeting under the auspices of Warsia athletics and Maison del La Vie . We hope in the future the para meeting will draw participants from extra European Athletes. We are appreciative for the effort of IAAF and Korean organisatiors to set the stranded for such occasions.
Eritrean “Lost Athletes”
This road running was organized in the city Asmara in the memory of those runners of Wrasaie athletics taken for military service of six months and never make it back while their colleges from other regional clubs returned. Their fate was sealed by diffusing them to the different parts of the country’s defense forces after being trained by our club for competition for over three years. They were taken in a time prepared to give result. We believe they would have defended their country in the international sports arena than the battle field to bring peace and glory to their country by raising its flags among the constellations of nations. This has provoked majority of them sadly to run to the neighboring countries to become refugees. Thus lamenting in refugee camps rather than representing their beloved country.We hope letting private run clubs to work in Eritrea and letting them to compete freely like Kenya and other African country will stop athletes from seeking political refugee and escaping when ever they are send to competition if ever. Only the same athletes are send for competition the whole year round. Moreover, the recruitment is not based on the qualification but by merit controlled by few interest groups. We hope this misfortune will be stopped and a true athleticism will flourish in the future…
