		Ethiopia's 1968 Olympic Marathon champion Mamo Wolde who died on Sunday 25 May 2002 at the age of 70 years after a long illness, was a former army captain who became a sporting hero in Ethiopia after winning the marathon gold at the 1968 Mexico Olympics and the bronze in the 1972 Munich Games.
		The recognition is significant given that Wolde had spent most of the last nine years in jail, accused of taking part in the murder of a 15-year-old boy during the regime of Marxist dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam, but always maintained his innocence.
		Wolde was found guilty of the crime in January 2002 and sentenced to six years in prison, but was released because he had already spent nine years behind bars.
