Eritrean-Swed Meraf Bahta, shown here in the video-clip captures the Gold Medal in 5000-meter race for her country of Sweden. Interesting fact about the dignified runner (taken from Wiki): She moved to Sweden in 2008, fleeing from the situation in Eritrea. In Sweden she has continued her running career, getting support from Ulf Friberg, the trainer of Mustafa Mohamed. Bahta got her permanent residency permit in 2012 and has applied for Swedish citizenship.[3] In December she got her citizenship and since 2014 she is eligible to compete for Sweden in international championships.[4] (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meraf_Bahta)
