I remember this very very very very well I was very young, I was with my family in Morocco, my father was driving in the motor way and then suddenly everybody stopped there were thousands of Moroccans parking their cars in the motor way, not moving and people outside of their cars standing close to their cars and everybody listening to the radio (it was 2004) The entire country stopped breathing shops closed, empty streets, exactly like during Morocco's matchs in the world cup and I still remember hearing the Moroccan commentator on the radio repeating hysterically "Hicham Lagat Hicham Lagat Hicham Lagat Hicham Lagat Hicham Lagat" in an extremely loud and emotional voice and then said "our hero did it, our legend did it" and burst out in tears like many people in the highway That was one of the moments I will never forget and just few days later, once again, the entire country stopped breathing : it was again Hicham going for the 2nd olympic gold medal at 5000m extremely proud to be Moroccan Long live my country

He must have been dissapointed at the end of this race and instead of sulking he went and gave genuine congratulations. Total mark of respect and an indication even the other athletes wanted El G to win an Olympic title. You dont see that too often in sport.

All good, but check this out bro: "On 29 September 1951, Emil Zatopek became the first person to run 20 kilometres in under one hour and broke four world records in one breathtaking race. By the end of 1953 he held eight world running records-the only man in history to hold so many records at the same time. In total he set 18 world records. In 1952, Emil Zatopek achieved one of the greatest Olympic feats of all time - something that will probably never be reproduced. He won gold in the 5km, 10km and then at the last moment decided to run his first ever marathon. Despite no previous experience at the distance he won the race [slicing six minutes off the world record]. This triple gold remains an unprecedented achievement. The amazing feature of this Olympics was that two months before the Olympics, doctors advised him not to race because of an infected gland. Zatopek ignored the doctors’ advice." TIME FOR A CONTRAST: "At one stage in the 1960s, Ron Clarke, the Australian, held every world record from two miles to 20 kilometres - an achievement surpassing that of the great distance runner Paavo Nurmi. In 1965, at the peak of Clarke’s career, he competed 18 times in eight countries during a 44-day tour of Europe - and set 12 world records, nine of which were established within 21 days. FACT: After being invited to an athletics meeting in Prague by Emil Zatopek, on his way home on the plane ... "He determined that under no circumstances would he open the small package given to him by zatopek, until he was back on the ground in London, at least on friendly, familiar territory, where he would be able to cope with whatever it was. But somewhere over the English Channel he could resist no longer. Looking surreptitiously over his left and right shoulder to see no one was watching, he fished the package out of his pocket and opened the little box inside. It gleamed back at him. It was an Olympic gold medal, the very same that Zatopek had won in the 10,000m at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. It was even newly inscribed, To Ron Clarke, July 19, 1966, with Zatopek's final words on the plane steps coming to him, "Not out of friendship, but because you deserve it". Clarke never won Olympic gold. [Jesus: Never forget Him]

Remembring my first time watching the olympics in 1996 (10 yo) staying late at night to explore the world of athletism, it was a delight to see many peoples from all countries and races compete. But what was truly awesome, from my perspective as moroccan, was to witness that "fresh name on the scene" called Hicham El Guerrouj glued to Morsli and another famousspanish racer. To watch him fall, 400 M before the end of the race, and to watch him getting back in the race, with a godly might, and continue the last lap like his baskets were burning.. He finished 8th, but who cared.. I didn't see at the time the need for a medal to respect him, or to feel myself proud as a moroccan.. I just saw a very inspiring performance ofa humain being that didn't give up, no mater what were his chances of victory.... Since 96, i watched every performance of hicham, at every meeting and world championship. He always starts by kissing his medallion, taking place in the 3rd or4th position by midrace, and unleaching every fucking bit of his soul in the last 200m... And i had the luck to witness greatness in progress till the very last epic fight with Lagat (whom i acknowledge as an epic runner too, even that he fought fiercely El Guerrouj when he scored the 3:26:00, Bernard Lagat was behind with... 3:26:13! ). God I like you Hicham, and would've liked you if you were moroccan, Kenyan or whatsoever... You are a true fighter, growing watching you over the years mademe the man whoi am, a man that doesn't knowwhen to give up :D

Hicham holds 5 world records" the mile out and indoor, 1500m outdoor and indoor, 2000m outdoor. This is still not enough for them to call him the greatest? what a justice? but lets just throw more facts. Hicham ran the indoor world record in 1500m and Haile Gebrselassie was gasping behind him in second. Not only that, he also broke the outdoor 1500m world record and Daniel Komen who is ( in my opinion, one of the greatest runners of all time also, who still the current 3000m record holder was also gasping behind Hicham in second. More than that, when Hicham broke the Mile world record, Noah Ngeny (the current 1000m world record holder) was behind him in second. Hicham broke three world records while three world record holders of different distances were finishing second behind him in those races. Go watch the 5000m final race in 2004 Olympics, look at who were there behind Hicham in second and third, and forth. In that race " Zersenay Tadese of Eritrea (the world half marathon record holder), Bekele (the 5000m and 10000m world record holder who just broke his records four months before that race) and as well Eliud kipchoge who is today the dominant figure of most of the major marathon races finishing second and third behind Hicham. Hicham ran the second fastest time of all time in 3000m ( behind the world record time by Koman). Also, 7 of the fastest 10 times of all time in 1500m were run by Hicham. Hicham ran 33 times sub 3:30 in the 1500m races. Think of running 33 times under 3:30 minutes in the 1500m races. Also, 7 of the fastest 10 times of the Mile distance races were run by Hicham, one of them is the world record time that he holds as well as his world record of 1500m..etc..You will not hear those facts from most of athletics commentators who are always referring to Bekele or Haile as the greatest runners of all time which is understandable. But, to overlook Hicham name, records, and greatness is very subjective. It does not convince me to name him only " the greatest runner of middle distances" because he is the best and greatest runner ever. Period.

You go for it and don't give up. Never miss a training session, rain, hail or shine, and stay humble. Now conquer!

Hicham won the race with the strategic surge he threw with 400 meters to go. His whole race was masterful, the result of two previous loses at the Olympic level. The thing about Coe vs El Guerroj, both champions - but Hicham beat the Africans! At their prime, it would have been the best race of all time! Coe was fucking amazing too, for those too young to have witnessed him.

Watching this as a Moroccan is profoundly transformative, reshaping my perspective on overcoming the inherent sense of demoralization and despair often associated with belonging to a developing country where people believe the system is a failure. It reinforces the idea that achieving greatness is a choice

I was there for his Athens Olympic gold. It was a magical evening, with Hicham E.G. and Yelena Isinbayeva (you can see her twice in this video). The stadium went nuts for Hicham and he went around thanking the crowd after his win, he was so ecstatic and gracious, the people loved him like no other athlete in my experience.

ملك السباقات الأولمبية ١٥٠٠متر ، الاسطورة المغربية هشام الكروج، بعد مرور ٢٥ سنة على رقمه القياسي لم تستطع البشرية إنجاب واحد متله.....الدموع والعرق والسقوط والمرض والخسارة. هذا لم يمنعه. لم يستسلم حتى النهاية. أسطورة هشام.

The late 90s and early 2000s had the best middle and long distance track runners. Best era in my opinion with kings like El Guerrouj, Ngeny, Komen, Tergat and Gebreselassie. Miss those times. ☺

The greatest runner at a great event. I have seen many over the years: Herb Elliot, Peter Snell, Michel Jazy, Jim Ryun, Kipchoge Keino, Steve Ovett, Sebastian Coe, Steve Cram, John Walker, Filbert Bayi, Said Aouita, Steve Scott, Noureddine Morceli and of course, this man, Hicham El Guerrouj. I think Herb Elliot was the most mentally tough of them all. He NEVER lost!

+Mike Ikeda: Actually, Elliott (two "T"s) did lose his very first 1,500 meter race in high school (per his book) but who's counting. He was the best based on never wanting to come second and never did after that first fledglings try. For many years I've held that Elliott was the best, but how can we compare a bloke who ran 3:35.6 to what El Gherrouj did? My two greatest memories of track videos are this 2004 run, and then the black-and-white "Wide World of Sports" coverage of Elliot on the backstretch of the last lap in 1960 with his white Adidas churning like circles on some road-runner cartoon, and Jazy and Rózsavölgyi well out of the picture some 20 - 30 meters back ! Great stuff our memories are! What could Elliott have done if he decided to compete past his very early 20's? What would a race between these to have been like given both the same era for training? What if...is the thing that makes for conversation among us old track statisticians after all.
