Whakakihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I eke a Feyisa ki te taumata matua i te tau e whai ake nei, ka piki ake i te taumata i te
2009 IAAF World Cross Country Championships me te whiwhinga i te mētara hiriwa a te roopu matua ma te whakaoti i te 12 o nga waahi. I taua Paenga-whāwhā i haere ia ki te Hononga o Amerika ki te whakataetae i te Crescent City Classic i New Orleans. I whakatauhia e ia te 10K pai rawa atu o te 28:20 ki te whakaoti hei kaihauturu i muri i a Mark Kiptoo. I whakapiki ake ia i te tawhiti mā te rere i te Rock 'n' Roll Virginia Beach Half Marathon i te marama o Hepetema. I whakatauhia e ia he wa 1:02:15 engari i whiua ano ia ki te tuarua o nga whakataetae Kenyan, i tenei wa i te ahua o William Chebor. I timata ia i tana marathon i te marama i muri mai, i te whakataetae i te Dublin Marathon. I riro ia i te kaiarahi mai i te toa takirua a Aleksey Sokolov, a, kaore i taea te whakataetae i tana whakataetae tuatahi i runga i te tawhiti, ka whiua a Solokov e te wehenga o te meneti me te hawhe. Ko tana wa 2:09:12 he rere tuatahi kaha, ahakoa i ngaro ia i te rekoata akoranga e rima hēkona.
