Career
Homiyu Tesfaye was born an Ethiopian. In July 2010 he applied for asylum in Frankfurt am Main ; a year later he competed in a junior competition in Germany for the first time. Since July 2013 he has been allowed to start for Germany . His exercise bike at LG Eintracht Frankfurt was the DLV national trainer Wolfgang Heinig .
Tesfaye took fifth place as the fastest European in the 2013 World Championships in Moscow in the 1500 meter run. At the 2014 European Championships in Zurich , he was also fifth. On February 14, 2015 in Vienna he improved the German 1500 meter record in the hall to 3: 35.71 minutes, which he undercut again five days later in Stockholm with 3: 34.13 minutes.
At the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , Tesfaye was eliminated in the semi-finals. Even before the games, Tesfaye no longer worked with national coach Heinig. On November 1, 2016, he left the Bundeswehr promotion company and was no longer a member of a DLV cadre. In mid-2017 it became known that Tesfaye was working with Heinig again. At the World Championships in London he was eliminated over 1500 meters in the semifinals.
In 2018, at the CPC Loop Den Haag , he improved his half marathon best from the previous year to 1:01:20 h and was fifth on the all-time German best list. He stated that in the 2018 season he will mainly focus on the 5,000 and 10,000 meters.
Tesfaye lives with the two-time 1500 meter world champion Maryam Yusuf Jamal .
Age and Identity Controversy
Homiyu Tesfaye is accused of being the Ethiopian runner Henok Tesfaye Hey (born February 23, 1990), who was active in the youth field until 2010. After his asylum application in July 2010, charges of social fraud were filed; then there was controversy over Tesfaye's age and identity. Although he fled Ethiopia for political reasons, Tesfaye regularly completed training camps in Ethiopia after his naturalization.
