Abdi Bile Abdi

Image

Abdi Bile (born 28 December 1962) is a former middle distance runner. He was born in Las Anod, Somalia. Abdi Bile grew up in a society where most of people were nomadic. He finished his high school in a school located in Erigavo. Abdi Bile started running when he first heard of the Somali runner Jamac Karacin who got scholarship into the US. This was when running became his hobby. When Abdi was a kid he was very interested in football or soccer. Abdi Bile was a great runner but not the only runner in his family. There were many of his other siblings who were interested in running at that time. In 1987 he became world champion in the 1500 metres, the first Somali to do so.
