(fiftyeight.net) — It was a great spontaneous Ethiopian “Fanfest”. Drivers of trucks, buses and private vehicles joined pedestrians and local residents in cheering their national hero. Traffic came to a complete standstill when hundreds of people gathered at Meskel Square in the center of Addis Ababa to watch the 5000m race Saturday afternoon. The cheering, dancing and clapping increased as Kenenisa Bekele crossed the finishing line, winning the fourth Gold Medal for the East African nation of Ethiopia at the Beijing Olympics 2008.
