The oldest USA Olympic distance runner was named this when he started a race in the Rio Olypic back on August 21st. His ancesters were origionally from Eritrea. To make his spot on the team he ran a 2:12:21 time for a marathon, only being beat by one person who beat him by less than one minute. He had to overcome injuries and setbacks in order to overcome his pains, and to make it back to the olypics.
I believe that this is a very inportant mark for people who live in Eritrea, and that many people look at this and look to Eritrea and gain a little bit of a better look at how people from Erirea also. Also, I think that this will give many people from Eritrea a good, fresh confidence, and that we could possibly see more people doing good things from here.
This ties into the culture of the country because it shows the non-material traits that Eritrea is gaining as they gain physical experiences that they are going through. This event is important to the culture in this country because it shows what people can do, and that it will give people more confidence from Eritrea.
