Is that a typo or did some Belgium guy just run 13.04.

And if so I guess we can presume it is a Belgian of African descent???

doesn't look east african but sure looks moroccan or algerian! not belgium born and bred anyway

hey jackass racist shi%bag! since when do have to be a cracker to be born and bred in belgium? holy crap, am i taking crazy pills, or are the stupidest americans 16 year-old fanboys on letsrun? ahhhhhhhhh

Yes, Matebo's run was good one but I point out Blincoe A) because he went to college in USA (Villanova) and B) I believe that his approximate 10 second PR may just be a NZ record!MF

Rizki Monder actually is Belgium born. I have known him growing up. He is originally born in Brussels in 1979. Although his parent are immigrants from north africa. I do not believe however, that the gentleman was being racist. Perhaps ignorant, but not racist. The definition of racism is believing one is inferior based on race, or inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

Solinsky held Mahboob

Gillis runs 13'36", just barely misses his PB

you are too kind. the implication was that a north african could not be truly belgian because he is not white. regardless, you civilty is rather atypical here on letsrun, so i applaud you, sir.

So Webb's now coming into form, when it doesn't do him any good. .

What would you have him do? intentionally get worse and run slower so people like you can't make retarded comments like this? Obviously Webb is going to keep going and make the best out of his season. It makes no difference now whether it'll get him on the team, he can't change that. His season didn't go the way he wanted, and he's not going to stop because of jerks like you.

Did it really cost him the olympics? Thanks for sharing that with everyone.
