Ethiopia’s Freweyni Hailu stormed to victory in the women 3000m race at the ongoing World Indoor Championships on Saturday 22, 2025 at the Nanjing Sports Training Centre in Nanjing, China.

The 24 year-old wrote her name in the history books as she became the first Ethiopian to win three medals in three different disciplines, which includes an 800m silver from 2022 and a 1500m gold two years later in Glasgow.

Hailu who holds the third-fastest in history in women 2000m race of 5:25.86 that she set when she finished behind Francine Niyonsaba who set the world record of 5:21.56 in 2021, took the honors in a time of 8:37.21.
