Timeline

2014

Yacob made a breakthrough at the Seoul International Marathon at the start of 2014: he became the first Ethiopian winner of the long-running event and greatly improved his best to 2:06:17 hours.

2012

Yacob made his marathon debut at the 2012 Beppu-Oita Marathon in Japan and was leading after 27 km, but fell back to finish in third place with a time of 2:11:13 hours. He won the Stramilano half marathon with a time of 1:01:07 hours, just beating Italy's Andrea Lalli. He ran at the Florence Marathon, but was slower than on his debut, finishing fifth. He failed to finish at the Seoul International Marathon in March 2013, but rebounded a month later to win the Yangzhou Jianzhen International Half Marathon. He entered the Delhi Half Marathon in December, but failed to finish.

2010

He moved away from the steeplechase in 2010 and won a 15K road race in Le-Puy-en-Velay. He was selected to run the 10,000 m at the 2010 African Championships in Athletics and he finished in fifth place – the only Ethiopian to finish the race. At the Delhi Half Marathon in November, he made his debut over the distance and managed a podium finish, taking third in a time of 1:00:07 behind compatriot Lelisa Desisa. He was the runner-up at the 2011 Ethiopian 15K Championships in February, finishing behind Deriba Merga He stepped up to the 20K distance for the Marseille-Cassis Classic in October and came fourth overall.

2009

He returned to Japan and began to take on longer distances, recording the third best time on his leg of the New Year Ekiden and beat Josephat Ndambiri to win the 10,000 m at the Hyogo Relays. A steeplechase win in 8:17.12 at a meet in Abashiri was enough to earn him a chance to represent his country at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics. Roba Gary had beaten his national record in the month before the event but Jarso finished ahead of him again on the global stage, pipping him to fifth place with a new personal best run of 8:12.13 minutes. Upon returning to his training camp in Japan, he ran a 10,000 m best of 27:30.08 – a mark which ranked him in the top twenty runners over the distance that season.

2008

Jarso moved to Japan around early 2008 and began competing on the circuit under the Honda corporate athletics stable, taking a win at the Hyogo Relays in April that year. He gained the third steeplechase berth on the Ethiopian team for the 2008 Summer Olympics, alongside the more experienced Nahom Mesfin Tariku and Roba Gari. While his compatriots were eliminated in the heats, Jarso won his qualifying race in a personal best of 8:16.88 to reach the final. He became the first Ethiopian to make the Olympic steeplechase final since Eshetu Tura, who won the bronze at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Jarso was among the leaders for much of the final but slowed at the last hurdle and came in fourth place. He was initially disappointed with the performance, but was satisfied upon learning that his run of 8:13.47 had broken Tura's Ethiopian record for the event, a mark which had stood since the Olympic final in Moscow twenty-eight years earlier. He received the honour of "Warden" from the Police Prisons club for his achievements.

1988

Yacob Jarso Kintra (born 5 February 1988) is an Ethiopian long-distance runner and former steeplechaser. He has represented Ethiopia at the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2009 World Championships in Athletics.
