Hicham El Guerrouj
Moroccan middle-distance runner (born 1974)
Hicham El Guerrouj (Arabic: هشام الݣروج; Berber languages: ⵀⵉⵛⴰⵎ ⵍⴳⵔⵔⵓⵊ, romanized: Hisham El Gerruj; born 14 September 1974) is a retired Moroccan middle-distance runner.
El Guerrouj is the current world record holder for the 1500 metres and mile,[3] and the former world record holder in the 2000 metres. He is the only man since Paavo Nurmi to win a gold medal in both the 1500 m and 5000 metres at the same Olympic Games.
El Guerrouj is widely regarded as the greatest middle-distance runner in history[4][5][6] and, as of October 2024, still holds six of the 10 fastest times ever run in the 1500 m[7] as well as seven of the 15 fastest times in the mile.[8] He and Jakob Ingebrigtsen are the only men in history to have broken both 3:27 in the 1500 m and 3:44 in the mile.
El Guerrouj remains the only man in history to have broken 3:27 in the 1500 m
