Is Shane Cohen the fastest Jewish 800m runner of all time?

Adam Goucher was no sloucher.

BTW, anyone can convert to Judaism (Sammy Davis Jr., Rod Carew), so anyone with a faster time can flip and the record is theirs. But for now, he very well may be. Mozeltov!

Goucher’s a member of the tribe?

Rod Carew is not, despite what Adam Sandler sang.

Matt Centrowitz Jr has jewish ancestry

Shoutout Harold Abrahams of Chariots of Fire. 1924 Olympic Champ. I’m gonna assume he’s running faster than 10.6 on a modern track,

No. Matthew Boling is.

Awful form. Finishes like he's had some help.

Found it! Yes, Goucher confirmed here:

This made me laugh hard, and the whole post. He can be added to the leaflet in Airplane, 'Jewish Sports Legends' for some light reading.

His kick looked like good ol Mahkloufi!

The title of Fastest Jew is absorbed by Fastest Male under 6ft.

Uhh, no. He attended Strake Jesuit h.s. in Houston.

He crushed the goyim! Bow down to the Chosen you animals.

While there is no official record-keeping body for such things, the authoritative Jewish Sports Review (1997-1922) has a listed best for Jewish athletes of 1:44.87 by Belgium's Nathan Kahan in 1997.
