2004

In March 2004 Gebremariam showed that he had fully progressed from the junior ranks by winning two silver medals at the World Cross Country Championships, one over the short course and one over the long course; in essence, were it not for his countryman Kenenisa Bekele, he would be one of only two men ever to have claimed short and long course victories at the same Championships.

He was selected for the Ethiopian Summer Olympic 5000 metres team along with Kenenisa Bekele and Dejene Berhanu, where he finished fourth, 0.25 seconds behind bronze medalist Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya.

He was victorious at the Peachtree Road Race in June, just pipping Peter Kirui at the finish, and then won the Beach to Beacon 10K in August.

He scored his second road win of the month at the Falmouth Road Race, beating Wilson Kwambai Chebet just at the finish.

He won the 2010 New York City Marathon on his debut over the distance with a time of 2:08:14.

Among his competitors was Haile Gebrselassie, who dropped out mid-race and later announced his retirement.

He paid his respects to the world record holder after the race, saying "Haile is a good guy, he is king. I have learned so many things from him".
