Jaouad is pictured above crossing the line in the silver medal
position in the mens Marathon at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
Gharib, the gold medallist at both the 2003 and 2005 World
Championships, ran an excellent race in sweltering conditions to record a
time 2.07.16 but was unable to beat off the challenge of Kenya's Samuel
Kamau, who won in a new Olympic record time of 2.06.32. Interestingly
Gharib's time was better than than his two gold medal successes - he
ran 2.08.31 in 2003 and 2.10.10 in '05 - and it was only a fantastic
performance from Wansiru that prevented him from sealing a third gold
medal at a major championship.
