Do you reckon there any small nations out there that want to buy a 36min 10k runner?
the main annoying thing about this is why did they make him change his name(or why did he change it) ugh- that is just confusing i suppose u can just look up the QAT in the results.
before you knock the qatari's for having no running tradition look at some of the national records:
200m: 20.41 Mansour 15.10.94
400m: 44.66 Ismael 30.08.00
1500: 3:32.10 Suleiman 13.08.97 (also 3:35.38 Warsama '94)
St: 8:17.56 Adballah 01.06.00
A former U.S. 400 guy was (is still?) in charge of their national team - I think it was Lee Evans but I might be mistaken.
Suleiman was 3rd in barcelona, 4th in WC '93, 7th in WC '95, and 6th in WC '97.
Not too shabby for a country that sucks.
Is this similar at all to all the Morrocans and Algerians who have starting running for France and other European countries?
Damn. Let the guy be its his life he can move, live anywhere he damn well pleases for any reason he wants to. and Jason brings up a lot of good points as he usually does.
