Chala Beyo Techo (born 18 January 1996) is an Ethiopian long-distance runner who specialises in the 3000 metres steeplechase. He was the gold medallist in the steeplechase at the 2016 African Championships in Athletics, becoming the first non-Kenyan to win that title since Brahim Boulami in 2002.[4]
He made his international debut at the 2014 African Championships in Athletics, placing fourth behind a Kenyan trio.[5] As a result he was chosen to represent Africa at the 2014 IAAF Continental Cup, held later at the same venue, and he again took fourth place.[6][7] He placed fifth at the 2015 African Games.[8]
