Who is more popular Hicham El-G ,Haile,Marion Jones or Maurice Greene

Haile seems to be more popular here in Netherland, seen him in many commercial,but in France countries Hicham is more popular,all are not druggiees by the way. People hate Mo.G may coz of his cruelity.But i can remember Marion in sidney the lady she did more than one even,not sure!!!!

Haile Obvious!!!Nobody wanna show up to see track meet coz marion is running.Seen her in several track meet here nothing spectacular,but assume Haile was born here.Haile is the Man. Hicham,M.Green & Marion will be there once they stop using tracks

stop using track or drugs...Hicham get my vote (paris)

Maurice Greene is probably the msot well known by non-athletes, I actually got that nickname at school (no one knows anything about running, can't tell the difference between a sprinter and a distance runner and he's the only one they know!)

Haile Gebrselassie comes a close second, better known as "the token skinny ethiopian in the 10k"

Hicham has become more well known among my friends after the olympics, everyone remembers the guy crying after his race (or I just talk about him so much everyone can't forget)

Marion Who?

- I'm in Australia

My kids always get excited when they see any african runner(kenyans) especially Sidney 10k Dude-Haile gabreesila(sp) and the other European Hicham are popular,they felt sorry after losing to kenyans(hicham), i know kenyans are fast,anybody who is not kenya, nor skinny, it is rare for me to watch i would rather watch soccer. Who is Marion?is she the Australia lady the winner of not sure the race,but she did well...My vote go for Gabressailasie haile of Africa

let's see ... In Ethiopia I'd say Haile is more popular, hands down :)

I've always known of Marion Jones, and liked her.

Maurice Greene ... when i think of him, i think good example for athletes with horibble attitude.

Oh, EL G! Of course EL G is the man. This may not be the typical Ethiopian sentiment, but I was happy during the last Olympics when he got 5k gold. If anybody had to beat Kennenisa, it might as well have been El G. He's the man, although not that popular in Ethiopia.

Maurice Green sometimes gets ripped, but I've always liked him. He's made some mistakes, but to me he's always come across as a genuinely nice person. I also remember someone on here stating he met/talked with Greene and found him to be a good guy.

1. Haile Gabreselassie

2.Hicham El-gouraj

3.Maurice Green

4.Marion Jones

Haile Is more Popular....Skinny Ethiopians...Kenyans as a country is more popular in running,No body cares about Nasty sprinters on earth anyway,but i will go with Maurice Green for second.

Go Haile,he is a nice guy too (http://www.kidsrunning.com/bostonindoor04/geb400x293.jpg)

also my favorite is Marion Jones

After Double Olympic Gold Hicham is the track athlete that should be popular,I don't really watch Women race but Kelly Holmes should be up there,Actually i started bieng interested in track 2002, i have no idea who is Marion Jones???, I will go with Hicham Elgourajj

Marion is the top American sprinter,she is well known over here,but Not really famous in the world,European & Africans are very strong when it comes to distant, i assume they are more into distant than sprint and they care less that might be the only problem. I will go with Haile but Marion is as well popular! 5 medals in Sidney Olympics

Emperor~~Emperor~~~Emperor

the last 4 years, Marion was pretty much the biggest track and field athlete in the World.

who did You think made more headlines when he or she lost in Edmonton? No doubt people were shocked when Haile lost.....but Wayne Gretzky said....the night before the w100mm final....I am looking forward to hang the gold medal around Marion Jones´s neck.

Marion is pretty well known in South Africa, Australia, Europe.

I was at a meeting in Munich Germany (it was a France, USA, Germany challenge).....

Who do You think most people were running after? I saw it with my own eyes.

At first there was Maurice (in front of the team bus) and some people were there to have his autograph....but then

Marion Jones got outta the bus....and swoosh....almost all of the people got away from any other athlete they were with to get to her, to see her, to get her autograph.

You people might not like her....but she one of the most popular track stars ever....and definitely more popular than Maurice Greene
