Props for such an in-depth, post race. What I got from her interview is her support system is so strong and Mission Dark Sky? and Kelati work well together. They've together built upon a strong foundation and equipped Kelati with a toolkit of strategies she's not hesitant to access when it suits the situation. She's really grown into a strong minded tactician and I can't wait to see how her Olympics journey continues.
Weini Kelati was born in a small village in Eritrea. She sought asylum in the U.S. and became a citizen three years ago. Now, she's representing the U.S. at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Growing up, Kelati said, kids in her village had to walk four to five hours to get to school every day - or to run, if they were tardy. When she ran at school, though, she uncovered a hidden talent, outrunning her classmates and even older kids. She stayed in the U.S. after her skills took her to the World Junior Championships in Eugene, Oregon, 10 years ago, and Kelati finally cemented her Olympic dreams with a first place finish at team trials in June. "I just want to race hard and have the best results in my life," she said. "I wanted to be one of the runners that I used to watch in TV, you know?"
