More recently, Crippa finished second to Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the men's senior race at the 2024 European Cross Country Championships.
He also sits at No. 2 all-time among Italian men in the marathon behind his 2:06:06 performance at the Sevilla Marathon in 2024.
Crippa was born in Ethiopia and later adopted by an Italian couple and moved to Trent in Italy when he was seven years old, having been orphaned during the Eritrean-Ethiopian war.
Since 2012, Crippa has been competing at the international level, beginning with his U20 days.
"I'm really excited to partner with On, such an innovative and forward-thinking brand that truly understands and supports its athletes," said Crippa in a statement. "I can't wait to see what we can achieve together."
On also expressed their excitement with adding Crippa to its roster.
"Yeman is an exceptional athlete with an incredible work ethic and a true passion for the sport," said Niklas Bühner, athlete manager at On. "His dedication to excellence aligns perfectly with On's values, and we are confident that he will be a fantastic addition to our team."
