The fiancee of Ethiopia's Olympic 10,000 metres champion Kenenisa Bekele has collapsed and died whilst the pair were on a training run.
Alem Techale, 18, who made her debut for her country in the 1500m at the 2002 World Youth championships, was due to marry Bekele in May.
"As soon as she started running she collapsed, and died whilst being rushed to hospital," said coach Tolosa Kotu.
The cause of death is unclear and her funeral will take place on Wednesday.
