The Finnish city of Tampere is hosting the U20 Under-20 World Championship, an event that brings together young athletes from around the world and is provoking controversy this year.
The Ethiopian Girmawit Gebrzihair, who won the bronze medal in the 5000-meter race, was seen at the heart of the problem and has since seen his circular image on social networks, net surfers said. questioning his true age.
On the official register of the International Association of Athletics Federations, the athlete is registered on the date of birth on November 21, 2001, which gives him 16 years of age. However, there were many who questioned the veracity of the document, stating that the woman does not appear to be a teenager.

Soooo … you tell me that Girmawit Gebrzihair is 16 years old …
The question that arises now is whether this doubt is only speculation or whether there is a real suspicion as to the athlete's participation in the event.
