Africa-Press<\/a> – Eritrea<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Eritrean makes History with Country\u2019s First Worlds Medal<\/b><\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s Note :(It is to be recalled that Eritrean young cyclist, Biniam Girmay, made history in the U23 men\u2019s road race at the UCI Road World Championships winning the silver medal. Here is an Article by Patrick Fletcher from Cycling News)<\/b><\/p>\n

Biniam Girmay hailed a landmark moment for Eritrea and all of Africa after winning the silver medal in the U23 men\u2019s road race at the UCI Road World Championships. The rising starburst is clear of a reduced bunch to place second in Leuven, just a couple of seconds after solo winner Filippo Baroncini. In doing so, he made history, becoming the first Eritrean and the first black African to win a medal at the Road World Championships.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, for my nation, also for Africa, this means a lot,\u201d Girmay said as his section of the post-race press conference outlasted that of the world champion to his left.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really happy. I\u2019m really proud of my nation, so I say congrats to all Eritreans and also to all Africans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Girmay nodded his head sharply as he crossed the line, which at first looked like a show of frustration. He had been the fastest in the reduced bunch, only thwarted by a solo attacker, but it soon became clear that there wasn\u2019t a hint of disappointment.<\/p>\n

He sank to the tarmac and was mobbed by his teammates and staff, and could no doubt hear \u2013 if not see \u2013 the flag-laden Eritrean fans in Leuven.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday I called my family, and they told me to remember when I was a kid,\u201d he revealed. \u201cMy father said to me \u2018hopefully you will become one of the biggest riders in all the world, you will be world champion\u2019. So I was on the phone with my father and my whole family, and they said \u2018for sure you can do it and take a medal\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI say thank you for all my family. They supported me. They give me really good motivation, every single day. When I was starting my sprint, I was a bit nervous but I was also thinking just to get one of the medals. Not to win \u2013 just to finish top three and I did it. I am happy with my place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Girmay has been touted as a big talent but his journey to the top of the sport is far from straightforward. Cycling is popular in Eritrea but in terms of pathways to the professional ranks, it lags far behind cycling\u2019s European heartlands.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m from the capital city Asmara. That\u2019s the cycling zone in Eritrea,\u201d Girmay said, explaining his roots. \u201cEvery Sunday there\u2019s a race, and all the people who like cycling give you a lot of advice. I started when I was 12 years old, at school. I rode mountain bike but then I also started road racing when I was 15.\u201d<\/p>\n

Girmay\u2019s big break was an invite to the UCI\u2019s World Cycling Centre, to which he says he owes a big debt of gratitude. The WCC is an initiative of the sport\u2019s governing body to develop riders from backgrounds that may ordinarily prevent them from reaching the pro ranks, housing them in Switzerland and offering structured training and access to races.<\/p>\n

\u201cI raced a lot of races with them and gained a lot of good experience. When you\u2019re young, you come to Europe and you see the peloton \u2013 big peloton \u2013 and a lot of tactics. Mentally and physically, I grew at the World Cycling Centre. \u201cAfter I won the African Continental Championships \u2013 in the Time Trial and the road race \u2013 the UCI invited me, so I joined them in 2018 and stayed until the end of 2019. It was really important \u2013 one of the most important things,\u201d Girmay said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means a lot to me because I went to Europe in 2018 and every year, with every step, every new experience, I learn a lot. It has worked today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Girmay then signed his first professional contract with the French Delko team for 2020, and he immediately made his mark, winning two stages of the Tropicale Amissa Bongo in Gabon. He went on to finish runner-up behind Giulio Ciccone at Trofeo Laigueglia, then to Loic Vliegen at Tour du Doubs, as well as picking up four podiums at the Tour du Rwanda and fourth at the Giro della Toscana.<\/p>\n

Interest rocketed, World Tour teams started circling, and, as Delko found themselves in financial and administrative trouble this year, a mid-season transfer to World Tour outfit Intermarch\u00e9-Wanty-Gobert Mat\u00e9riaux was organized for the start of August. He quickly set about winning the GP Besan\u00e7on Doubs \u2013 his first professional victory on European soil.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I joined this team I was super happy. I think it\u2019s a good team. It\u2019s not only a team but a family,\u201d he said. \u201cI also say thank you to them for giving me the opportunity and supporting me the past few months. I joined halfway through the season but they gave me the chance immediately to sprint for the win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Girmay signed a long-term deal with the Belgian team and recently relocated to Lucca, Italy, where there\u2019s a sizeable contingent of Eritrean riders. He signed through 2024 \u2013 a sign of how highly rated he is \u2013 in which time he hopes to hone his skills as a versatile sprinter and start winning bigger and bigger races.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor now, I\u2019m really looking at the Classics, also some hilly races with a sprint,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is my best capacity so I\u2019m working for this to be faster in the bunch sprints and on the small uphills. I also want to show the next few years that I can be one of the big riders.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was little, I liked sprinters. I wouldn\u2019t say he\u2019s my hero, but I like Peter Sagan, not only for his cycling but also outside of cycling. He\u2019s really funny and easy-going.\u201d<\/p>\n

The future appears very bright indeed for Girmay but he is also aware of the potential impact of his silver medal not just in the next few years, or even the rest of his career, but for decades and generations to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Eritrea our future is bright,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have really good potential. It\u2019s not just from the last years, it\u2019s longer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will get more experience, and progress every day mentally and physically. There is a really good future, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
