The Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta Sport celebrated in its issue published this weekend the birthday of the Moroccan international runner Hicham El Guerrouj, who turns 50.

The newspaper published a photo of the Moroccan champion and commented on it: “Today we celebrate the birthday of the world-renowned runner Hicham El Guerrouj, we wish you a happy birthday, legend who still holds the world record for the mile and 1,500 meters in Rome.

The sports newspaper points out that the Moroccan champion of half a century, Hicham El Guerrouj, in middle distance, has a lot of gold, not only what shines from the many medals, but also what resists and persists in the memory of a record. that can only be touched by steps and a look. Hicham El Guerrouj is one of the sports heroes; Rarely does a legend shine among the champions, interspersed with medals won, whether basketball or football, like a metronome that marks the childhood of his jumps on ever faster levers, on a body that increasingly resembles a system of reeds cleverly connected to each other for a weight that seems to be at the very moment when it seems that the wind is carrying it, the wind is actually in control.
