Navarro is a Basque name. The Basque Country is not an independent country, and it occupies portions of both Spanish and French territory. Therefore, the Basque name "Navarro" is both a Spanish and a French name.

Your reputation precedes you. You leave out relevant information to pretend you are right about something. You have been doing it for years, Unkle carmine Newname...

There is one on your list, there's the athlete, there's Corentin Navarro, a cyclist, Marcel Navarro, Morgan Navarro, France Navarro, François Navarro, Léa Navarro, Enora Navarro, Jean Navarro, etc.

I am not going to waste more time proving that you are wrong.

I posted a similar thread after the Valencia half marathon. US runners are missing the boat by focusing on the US majors and backwater marathons like Grandma's and CIM. 2 of the 3 US majors are not fast at all. Chicago more likely than not has dodgy weather. Grandma's and CIM don't have the prize money or the pace up front to drag people to the Olympic standard. Houston is well suited for fast times but it's at a weird time of year for most people.

Americans need to realize they aren't going to break any records unless they run with the big boys in Europe or Japan. Lighting fast courses, super deep competition, plus cities that are more fun to visit than most American cities.

Ya, prize money is part of it too. CIM is 5 deep, with 5th place barely being able to recoup the cost of travel - this is a marquis US event? "International"?

Houston is a little better, but an athlete will need to win at least 2 races that size to afford living in the US for a year. I know, just win CIM, Grandmas, and Houston to survive.

The US treats this sport like a joke - a golfer finishing way back will make more than the Houston winner. A city anywhere could host a marathon that would compete with anything but the majors if they were backed by a single big sponsor with the will to make it so.
