Gudaf Tsegay

The Ethiopian runner has many favorite distances, but lately, she has been particularly good at the 10,000 meters: in the main race of 2023, Gudaf confidently defeated her rivals and won the gold medal in Budapest. At the same time, the ambitious athlete is happy to challenge the favorites in the 1500 and 5000 meters, so we can expect her to duel with Kipyegon at the main competitions.

Asisat Oshoala

The Nigerian football player was recognized as the best in Africa 6 times and is one of the main stars of world women’s football.
