"Great future, I'm sure". Wonder if he remembers saying that?!?

"he's got a great future I'm sure"

he’s got a great future for sure , he might break 5 world records and hold them for over 20 years

When you have a name like that you know your going to be the best.

haha, "not a familiar name..." Kind strange to hear that, but it was 1994.

this was way before he broke the mile world record. he was still a junior runner then

I like this video, that was the begening of guerrouj. All great ppl start from nothing, but they trace and pave their way towards glory and fame via hardwork and persistance. Nice inspiration is hicham.

هاد السباق بالضبط ديال الضاحية اعترف سعيد عويطة بالكر وج وقال في تصريحه بعد السباق الذي فاز به الفريق المغربي المتكون من الخطابي الكروج حيسو بوطيب وخالد سكاح قال اعوبطة الكروج سيكون له مستقبل في العاب القوى

1:22 "El guerrouj of morroco, not a familiar name" i'm sure you know him now

El Guerrouj's running form is much more efficient then the others

"hes got a great future Im sure"....you got that right

Haha I like 2:09-2:11 "He has a great future ahead of him, I'm sure." yeah like 2 or more World Records haha.

الرجولة منذ الطفولة

for everyone that says elguerrouj runs on heel than toe , it's right but elguerrouj's way of running changed over the years from this video which was in 1994 I guess to 99 and its even different in 2004 the year when he won the Olympic gold

where i can see the rest ?

this was 5 years before he set the world record in the mile

Middle distance in athletics (track and field) races that range in distance from 800 metres to 3,000 metres . In international competitions, middle-distance races include the 800 metres, the 1,500 metres and the 3,000 metres (a steeplechase event for men, but a regular run for women).

El guerouj top

The day I discovered Elguerrouj!!!!!!

why'd you write it twice?

En fait c'est Aouita qui était directeur technique

@MichealWeather but he also said he was sure that he would have a great future. he couldnt have been more right

lol i like when he said that he wasnt a farmiliar name...now he is!

Coe was an 800m/1500m runner! He ran 45 minutes for 10 miles in 79, so I would suggest that had he trained for 3000m he would have run around 7:30. I could also ask, could EL G run a 1:41 800m?

@Rogerio34567 looks like a midfoot strike to me. he may be running with forefoot strike during the mile too. and some people can get shin splints from heel striking so it is different for everyone

who has the whole race? I am also looking for the 2 mile race of haile gebreselassi vs Morceli on the track. It was a dual match. Haile breaks the 2 mile record in 8:01

I wanna see the rest

800m to 3000m is 'middle distance.' Could Seb Coe have run a 7:23 for 3k?

haha dude this guy helps out with my middle school track team

@PathwayX 3000m is not middle distance. 800m to 2000m is middle, but the 1500 is king. Starting on the straight is terrific and it has the right mix of speed and tactics to make it the most fun and the most watchable. But the 3k? You do have to be quite nippy, but it's just too far to be middle. Three quarter?

Why would you say that?

How????? You got clip

I think he should try middle distance running. Especially 1500 mile and 2k . Maybe he can do better in it

not a familiar name?? but he is the mile world record holder i dont get it can someone explain¡¡?? id be very thankfull

@bboybram its 5k in less than fourteen minutes bro

kapooo hicham......lastia xq degooo!!!!

at first is that real?

@Rogerio34567 actually he isnt it looks like he is but if you go frame by frame he steps on midfoot and toe but i can see what u mean ;)

This isnt a easy sport.

It looks very bleak out there where they're running.

height: 1 76m, weight: 58 Kg, the rest I don´t know. Go to University of Oregon, he ´s living and studingy there.

You mean 5 world records holder lol

koun maghribi mkawad ola sir tkawad vive le maroc

El gerouj he is berber and its very importent

You mean 5 world records holder lol!!!

A 13:43 relay leg for 5k. A great run to pass the Kenyan & Ethiopian, but nothing out of the ordinary for a 20 year old, considering he was to go on and run over 50 secs faster.

Greatest 1500m runner of all time , but not greatest middle distance runner of all time. The classic middle distance races are 800m to 1 Mile. With that in mind Seb Coe is hands down the greatest middle distance runner of all time!

5 km in 21 minutes ? I could do that Or is it 7.5 km in 21 minutes? I could never do that

I knew he would lol..

El guerrouj runs heel - toe, so if anyone tells you to run on your toes tell them to get stuffed ;)

4.25 per mile at this age is just ridiculous!

Awful, awful exchange at the end. More generously? OK, comical.

i think el guerrouj would get utterly raped by bekele in a 10k or marathon. and haile would beat anyone in a marathon, hands down. el guerrouj is the best mid-distance runner, not long distance runner
