The first black African to stand on the podium at a World Championships, Eritrean Biniam Girmay is a fast finisher with a huge future. Though he represents the hopes of an entire continent, he wears the pressure lightly, with pride, and he will go to the Giro d’Italia in May with the highest of motivations. “This is the beginning, and I have to continue. It’s now that the door is open.”
