Abebe Bikila
(page 156)

Abebe Bikila is an Ethiopian marathon runner who is most know for his two consecutive gold medal wins. He won his first gold medal in Rome at the [|1960 Summer Olympics] and four years later at Tokyo. He was born August 7th, 1932 but there is some dispute over the town where he was born. Wikipedia states that he was born in a city called Mout, Ethiopia but http://www.ethiopians.com/abebe_bikila.htm states that he was born in Jato, Ethiopia. Bikila ran the marathon at the Olympics in 1960 barefoot, a remarkable achievement. Abebe Bikila was the first African ever to win a medal at the Olympics. Six weeks before the 1964 Olympic games, Bikila had his [|appendix] removed. This operation obviously did not hurt Bikila during his performance in Tokyo.
