I wanted to post about another real caste buster this year, in white steeplechaser Bouabdellah Tahri, a WHITE Algerian who was born/raised in northern france.
He is currently second in the 3000m sc, an event dominated by east africans.

2010 has been a great year so far with American Chris Solinsky in the 10000m, Tahri in the 3000m sc and of course Christophe Lemaitre.

Very true yuri. I had forgotten about Bob. France is becoming a nation to watch out for in athletics in general. Solinsky is doing it despite not having the typical body type just like Mottram. It just goes to show that many types from short to tall can be great at distance running.
