Ethiopia's other strong medal contender is Tirunesh's sister, Genzebe Dibaba, the world champion and world-record holder in the 1,500. She'll come up against compatriot and double Olympic champion Tirunesh Dibaba in the 10,000. Former world champion Mohammed Aman is Ethiopia's lone hope in the men's 800. Dibaba was only named as a reserve for the 5,000, an event in which she is a former Olympic champion, two-time world champion and the world-record holder. Almaz Ayana, Ethiopia's rising star, was selected to run in the women's 5,000 and 10,000 in Rio.
