Biography
Eyeru was born in Aksum and is Tigrayan. She grew up an only child with her mother. She heard about Hanet Asmelash, the wife of racing cyclist Tsgabu Grmay, and wanted to try racing herself, but she was initially unable to afford a bicycle. When she was 16, she started helping her mother sell fruit and homemade snacks, and she used her earnings to rent a bicycle for short periods of time, "10 or 20 minutes", and learned how to ride. In 2017, she was invited to train at the UCI World Cycling Center in Switzerland. She arrived in France in August 2021 ahead of the World Championships in Belgium, but she did not show up in protest as "I did not want to represent my country because it would have been supporting the genocide of my people". She instead went to an undisclosed country before she returned to France. and has since lived in Nice and near Nancy. In 2024, she was selected to be a torchbearer for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Later in the year, she competed there in the women's individual road race as a member of the Refugee Olympic Team. She missed a time cutoff and did not finish the race. As of 2025, she rides for Team Buffaz Gestion de Patrimoine. ==Major results==
