According to a report from LetsRun.com, only four of the 18 Ethiopian U20 athletes had their U.S. visa applications accepted

For the last four decades, Ethiopia has won a medal at every World XC Championships. It’s an unbelievable 44-year streak built on dominance and talent. But the streak is now in jeopardy. On Tuesday, it was reported that more than a dozen Ethiopian athletes were denied travel visas to the U.S. ahead of this weekend’s World XC Championships in Tallahassee, Fla.
