Biography
At the 2014 Tokyo Marathon, Birhane Dibaba ran a personal best time of 2:22:30 hours for second place, behind Ethipion teammate Tirfi Tsegaye.[1] At the 2015 Tokyo Marathon, Birhane ran a time of 2:23:15 hours for first place.[2] During the post-race interviews of the 2015 Tokyo Marathon, she gave her responses via a Japanese-to-Ethiopian translator, and her mannerisms displayed her apparent shyness at interviews. As a result of this marathon win, she was selected for the Ethiopian women's marathon team along with three other 2015 women's marathon winners at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics.[3]
