This is the most intimate person in El Guerrouj carrer and played a fundamental role in his rise at the beginning.

Looks like El G. surprised Benzriguinate by beating all National cadets who were training in Rabat, advancing them by a hundred of meters, the first time when he confronted them.

This was back in 1990.

Thank you for posting a video that maybe 2 people on Letsrun can understand.

Moroccan Runners Qualify For The World Youth Championship In Kenya

By Ahmed El-Baqali

Five runners from the Moroccan national athletics team are among their participation in the World Youth Championships to be held in Kenya next August.

The qualification of the Moroccan runners came after they achieved the minimum (menma) to participate in the world championships.

It is related to the runner Taha Al-Rawain, who completed the 1500 race, at 3.44.01, and the Kurdish runner Noureddine, who recorded a time of 3.46.22.

Yassin Laaraj was able to book a qualifying ticket for the Youth World Cup in a distance of 3000m, by stopping the race at a time of 8:13,41.

Runner Saad Hinti was also able to qualify for the world championships in the 400m hurdles, by running the race in 51s, 97g/m.

The National Technical Department of the Royal Moroccan Athletics Federation, in coordination with the International Athletics Federation, had organized several technical tests for Moroccan runners in a range of disciplines, with the aim of opening the door for them to achieve the minimum qualification for the upcoming global and Olympic benefits.

The source of "The Lions" confirmed that the International Federation resorted to these tests in a group of countries in order to enable runners to achieve qualification for the Olympics and World Championships C, in light of the reduction in the number of international forums and official competitions significantly due to the circumstances, imposed by the Corona virus pandemic.

Look at this young runner Anass Essayi

and how he perfectly thin and skinny...

Perfect

A little bit of motivation and this breeze will transform on a storm

with a warranty no illness/injury and irregularity.

I live in a city in Spain with a big Moroccan population. Lots of them are thin like that. It's a combination of lifestyle/culture and poverty.

Among other things they don't drink alcohol.

This is the reason, Moroccan are thin.

You will never find a good middle distance runner from Egypt for example.

Also the climat and high chain of mountains of the Rif and Atlas help.

The Ethiopian Athletics Federation (EAF) fined that manager $25K for allowing banned athletes to participate in races.

Good one.

Congratulation to El Bakkali

Gold Medal in the 3000m Steeplechase, Tokyo 2021

Congrats to El Bakkali.

Stupid move by Arafi in the 1500 m heats, stopping in the middle of lane 1 and impeding Marta Pen.

Moroccan will need a new nature freak like the Marrakchi Hassna Benhassi.

That champion was always not appearing in the meeting but in the world championship and Olympic game she was always able to cut the head of her rivals and get a medal.

Moroccan athlete Soufiane El Bakkali is among the 30 personalities under 30 for the MENA region of young leaders, according to the ranking of Forbes MENA.

New consecration for Soufiane El Bakkali. The Moroccan athlete, only 24 years old, is one of the 30 personalities under the age of 30 this year chosen by the American magazine Forbes in its edition of the MENA region.

According to the magazine, the Moroccan Soufiane El Bakkali brought down the Kenyan supremacy on the 3,000 m steeplechase at the Tokyo Olympics by winning in front of the Ethiopian Lamecha Girma and the Kenyan Benjamin Kigen. Bronz medalist at the last World Championships in Doha, the Moroccan athlete finally won the big title he lacked, by dethroning Kenya, unbeaten over the distance since the Moscow Olympics in 1980 which they had also boycotted.

Soufiane El Bakkali won the 3,000m steeplechase in the 2019 Diamond League in Paris despite an injury that left his right foot bleeding during the race.

As a reminder, the “Under 30” ranking, published by Forbes US magazine for the first time in 2012, has the main objective of highlighting young people under 30 who have been able to get the best of themselves by bringing a breath of fresh air to their respective industries.
