A lot of people are asking were is this relief for Aouita, El Guerouj ... and I'm puting this name against all odds Rashid Ramzi (he not less cleaner than a lot people in tracks and fields in the world).
Said Aouita tried with all his force to bring something from the Moroccan Athletics but du to a lot of incomprehension he ended "throw in the towel" (I hope the expression is correct) some ten years ago.
The new president of the "Fédération Royale Marocaine d’Athlétisme" is a technocrat Ahizoune. Because for a federation like we need a man with a lot of brain not a lot of muscles in the legs.
Ahizoune worked hardly to clean the reputation of the federation.
I hope in this thread to showcase some new talents rising in Morocco.
