Biography

Samuel's first major international competition was the 2017 Shanghai Diamond League, where she finished 10th in the 1500 m with a time of 4:07.41 as a 17 year old.

In 2018, Samuel won her first global title at the 2018 World Junior Championships, in the women's 1500 m. She closed her final 400 metres in 61.04 seconds, enough to win a tactical race and make her the third consecutive Ethiopian winner in that event.

Samuel was particularly dominant in the 2019 IAAF World Indoor Tour series, having won the 3000 m races at the Madrid and Birmingham meetings. Her final score of 27 points was more than double that of the runners up, Melissa Courtney-Bryant and Konstanze Klosterhalfen, each with 10 points.

In 2021, Samuel started running half marathons. At the 2021 Barcelona Half Marathon, Samuel finish 5th in a time of 1:08:53.
