Hicham El Guerrouj (Arabic: هشام الݣروج; Berber languages: ⵀⵉⵛⴰⵎ ⴻⵍ ⴳⴻⵔⵔⵓⵊ, 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 events,[4] 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[5][6][7] and holds seven of the 10 fastest times ever run in the 1500 m and in the mile.[8][9]
El Guerrouj won a gold medal in the 1500 m at the 1997, 1999, 2001, and 2003 World Athletics Championships. He won the World Athlete of the Year awards three times,[8][9] and in November 2014, was inducted into the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Hall of Fame.[10]
