The Dibaba sisters are a combination of beauty and speed on the track, which has earned them the bragging rights of the world's fastest and most beautiful family in history.
When it comes to beauty and speed emerging from the same family, Tirunesh Dibaba and her sisters are unarguably the world's fastest and most beautiful siblings in history.
The Ethiopian middle-distance runners comprising Tirunesh, Genzebe, Ejegayehu, Anna, and Melat Dibaba are the only siblings in history to hold concurrent World Records (WR) and have four Olympic gold medals, two silver medals, three bronze medals, and fifteen world championships titles in their names.

Dibaba sisters started running after being inspired by their cousin Derartu Tulu - the first Ethiopian and African woman to win an Olympic gold medal, which she won in the 10,000m event at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games and another at Sydney 2000 Olympics.
Their striking beauty and prowess on the track, as well as their strong personalities, make them highly influential in their country and in women's sports globally.
