| A man who needs no introduction, Hicham El Guerrouj is one of the greatest all-time athletes. World record holder at 1500m, Mile and 2000m outdoors and 1500m and Mile indoors, El Guerrouj has won 51 out of 54 races (1500m or Mile) between 1996 and 2000. Five-time world champion (twice outdoors and three times indoor) he had a superb win at the 1999 World championships in Seville where he clocked the fastest 1500m championships time. In 1998 he took 1.37 seconds off Morceli’s 1500m world record with a majestic run in Rome and a year later he added world records at the Mile and 2000m. His unbeaten record in 1999 also included the second best 3000m time. In 1997, he took 2.98 seconds off Morceli’s world indoor 1500m record. Loading... |
