I am "The King of The Mile".im that sick but i also have some bitter rivals who i dislike very much such as Kenenisa Bekele Bernard Lagat Noah Ngeny Noureddine MorceliI was born September 14, 1974, Berkane, Morocco famously recognized as the greatest middle distance runner. I am the world record holder for the 1,500 metres (3:26.00), the mile (3:43.13) and 2,000 metres (4:44.79), and have been nicknamed "King of the Mile". My favourite miler was Britain's Steve Cram whose 1985 world record over the distance he considered as the 'perfect mile'. My sporting career is marked by various recognitions such as the award to humanitarian effort from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which I received in 1996. I'm also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. I was named best athlete of the year by the IAAF in 2001 and 2002 after remaining unbeaten in more than 20 races and thus becoming the first man to win athlete of the year titles in consecutive years since the award was created in 1988. Also, in 2002, I was chosen, together with the British athlete Paula Radcliffe, best athlete of the year by the prestigious athletics journal Track and Field News. In 2003, I was also top of the world athletics list and was elected as a member of the IAAF Athletes Committee.
