Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - Only a week after World 100m champion Veronica Campbell of Jamaica got married, Ethiopia’s triple World and 2004 Olympic 10,000m champion Kenenisa Bekele has announced he will marry film actress Danawit Gebregziabher at a wedding ceremony on Sunday 18 November 2007.

Last Saturday, 3 November, Veronica Campbell married Commonwealth Games 200m champion, Omar Brown in a splendid ceremony in Coral Gardens, Montego Bay, Jamaica which was one of the most sort after invitations of the year for anyone on the Caribbean island. This week her manager Claude Bryan confirmed that effective from the beginning of the 2008 season, Veronica Campbell who is of course also Olympic 200m titleholder will compete under the name Veronica Campbell-Brown.

 
 
Today’s announcement of the marriage plans of the 25-year-old Bekele, will cause an equal stir of excitement in the Ethiopian capital. It was only in January 2005 that the World and Olympic champion suffered the tragic loss of his then-fiancée Alem Techale, the 2003 World Youth 1500m champion, who collapsed and died while on a training run with him in the outskirts of Addis Ababa. His new fiancée Gebregziabher was an actress in Ethiopian hit-movie “The 11th Hour”.

The wedding will take place at the Sheraton Addis, one of only two five-star luxury hotels in the country.
