Khalid Choukoud ran 2:09.55 in the marathon in Siena, adding to the selection troubles for the Dutch men (who've only had one competitor in Rio and none in London), what an Olympic cycle...although to be fair, one might assume times dropping everywhere in the world with the miracle shoes nowadays.

 

Frank Futselaar ran with Choukoud for most of the way, until he unfortunately had to pull out with calf problems. That's in all likelihood the end of his dream.

I'd put a small question mark there to say the least, for now :p 

 

Very curious to see them in a big international meet though, just to see if it could really be all true and not some sort of timing mistake.

So much to be suspicious about these times. But for starters, let's just mention that Lusaka is at 1,279 m of altitude... :whistle:

Still a great performance despite the suspicions.

Unless we'll find more problems...

So Tanzania is the new Botswana? 

That is Namibia ...

Very suspicious though, to say the least, remember that 9.88 from Sydney Siame a couple of years ago at the same place. Furthermore, I think those two athletes will suffer the same fate as Seyni :mumble:
