RUNNER’S SIGHTS ON GAMES
( Picture: ADAM ELWOOD )
POUNDING the pavement used to be a mode of travel for Muse Tesema, now it is a pathway to success.
Muse, 16, of Flemington, has set his sights on Olympic glory, having broken away from a difficult childhood.
Muse was born in Ethiopia with a significant hearing impairment and didn’t start speaking until age eight.
His parents died in separate accidents and he and his brother, Ashmelash, and sister, Asmiret, moved in with their aunt who, in 2012, brought them and her five children to Australia.
Now studying at Mt Alexander College, Muse’s teachers identified his running prowess and selected him to compete at last year’s interschool competition.
It was there his support aid, Marie Foca, had a chance encounter with Australia East Africa Running Academy founder Keith Fearnley, who organised for Muse to receive free coaching from former Olympians Barb Augustin and Tony Benson.
“The first time I saw him run, you could tell he was a runner,” Augustin said. “There was something natural about the way he ran.”
Muse said he started running to keep healthy and loved how fun it was.
It’s something that come naturally to him, having as a child fast-tracked the twohour walk to his aunt’s home by running instead.
Muse’s dedication to training led to him qualifying for the Australian Junior Athletics Championships in Sydney in March.
His school and the Rotary Club of Strathmore covered much of the costs to send Muse and Augustin to the event, where he recorded a personal best of 2min 3sec in the 800m.
“He hasn’t even been training for 12 months and for him to get to an Australian championship is fantastic,” Augustin said.
