Mosinet Geremew

Mosinet Geremew (born 12 February 1992) is an Ethiopian middle-distance and long-distance runner.

Mosinet's career started in cross country running. He ran in the junior category at the 2010 IAAF World Cross Country Championships and placed 16th overall – he was not a point-scoring runner for the Ethiopian team. He returned to the same venue (Bydgoszcz) as a senior competitor at the 2013 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, though his 24th-place finish again left him out of the team point scoring. In 2015 he was the winner of the Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon.

On 15 May 2016 he won the Bangalore 10k in a time of 28:36, after his victory the previous year. At the 2018 edition of the run, he placed third in a time of 28:39 after fellow countrymen BIrhanu Legese with 28:38 and the winner Geoffrey Kamworor (Kenya) in 28:18.

He achieved bigger popularity in 2018 by winning the Dubai Marathon in a course record time of 2:04:00 (with seven runners below 2:05) as well as a second place in the Chicago Marathon.

At the 2019 London Marathon, he finished in second place behind Eliud Kipchoge with a time of 2:02:55, the third-fastest time in history.

On 17 July 2022, Mosinet won his second World Championship Silver Medal in the 2022 World Athletics Championships – Men's marathon, finishing behind Tamirat Tola in a time of 2:06:44.
