I'll move on if you move on. Anyway, who are you to say he's not even from Turkey, he lives there and represents them, so move on and feck off.

Yes I did. I think people need to understand that when someone like Leo or Meb did this in the past, they are doing it as a sort of ethnic pride type thing. That's their roots.
Ethnic pride is all fine, but if you're the one that decided to make the citizenship switch, you owe it to the country you represent. If you don't like the country enough to wave their flag alone, don't represent the country anymore.
If you're a refugee I could see an argument for flying both flags, but thats the only exception that comes to mind.
Adam Gemelli is mostly Turkish I think, with some Iranian thrown in, so ethnically very close to this guy.
The Turks are certainly not white. The person who said that modern Turks have more European ancestry - Turks are a brutal ruthless people, always have been, and always willing to commit genocide. They did it 100 years ago against the Armenians butchering nearly a million men, women and children with machetes and knives, so they would have certainly done it 1,000 years ago against the native Greek and other caucasian peoples of Anatolia and Ionia.
Greece and the Balkans probably has far more Turkish genes from half a millenia of Ottoman occupation than Turkey has European genes.
Not to mention that the future of Europe is Turkish. Countries like Austria and Denmark almost have Turkish majority young populations.

Dude, do you not realize that if you win that bet, you get a "pinch of shit?" Why would you make that bet? Even if you didn't stand to lose a pound, you still don't stand to earn anything I would expect you to want....

Hahahaha. Are you drunk? Of course. Turks are not white. and the Japanese are not Asian. and the Jamaicans are English.
I was pretty sure I was going to root for the white guy but found myself pulling for WVN down the stretch.
I guess I am drummed out of the Letsrun community for this treasonous act.

This particular Turk is considered white because he is white.. as many of them are. The reason Turkey is not allowed in the EU is because they have this religion called something like Islam or muslim or something like that. Ever hear of it?
I really like this guy. My new favorite sprinter.

Don't get my mans genes mixed up. Adam is proud Moroccan and Iranian. So mostly Semitic. This guy Guliyev looks very different and seems mostly Euro.

Again, he isn't Turkish. Please keep up.
And how many races in the world do you think there are? If Turkish people are not white, what are they? Ethnicity and cultures are not races is a hint.
All ya all calling him white are probably the same dudes who would be separating him and calling him Muslim if he blew shit up.

Not sure, but I think they're calling him white since that's what he is. Are you going to say that Bolt is not black because he's Christian?

Christians can't be black? This is news to me.
I didn't think there was a link between religion and skin color.
The world has skin colors ranging from pale white to almost pitch black and everything in between, but the world isn't just black and white. It's really relative in a sense. There's no politically correct way to put it. Easier just to classify by country, but obviously countries like Brazil and South Africa are pretty diverse.
If someone from India wins the men's 200m, no one says "A FAIR SKINNED ATHETE JUST WON THE 200M", we just call him Indian. This man is Turkish.

Yet the Israelis call themselves natives of the Middle East but are in European athletic and cultural institutions.
Israel good, Islam bad. We get it.
