Rolando Vera was really small.
didn't the guy who played "Tattoo" on Fantasy Island run a 2:17 marathon or so back in the early 80's?

Is Miki really that tall? I'd have said under 5 foot.
Maybe the overall slightness makes her seem shorter.
Rolando Vera - Ecuador
she has not run a marathon yet, but bezenesh bekele sertsu (no relation to k. bekele) will be an elite marathoner someday, she has run 1502 for 5k and 3110 for 10k and is 23 years old so she probably wont grow any more, her nickname is china because she is so small, she is about 4 foot 7 and 80 pounds, hopefully we will get to see china run in china in 2008.
Sorry CO-Runner I did not notice your post, my bad.
Tegla Loroupe was very small in her prime. First woman to break 2:20.
1980 Oly Trial Champ, Dr Anthony Sandoval...
5'4" & 115.
I just read an old Running Times article that said 5'8", but I seem to remember other articles saying 5'4"...
5'4' = 64". 64 x 1.8 lb/in = 115, which sounds about right.
i also read tony sandoval had a body fat of 1%, is that even possible first to get to 1% ? and second to compete intensely for over 2 hours in a marathon for over 2 hours with that low a body fat percentage?
bezenesh is my favorite runner, she is so small when you look at her, but she runs like a track and cross country star. i hope she decides to get usa citizenship.
Ron Tabb was quite small.
Tatoo and Gary Coleman are smaller.
