Admin Posted July 22, 2015 St. Catharines runner Mohammed Ahmed captured the gold medal in 10,000 metre event in Toronto Tuesday. Ahmed squeaked out a win in 28:49, besting Aron Rono of the United States, who finished in 28:50, and Juan Luis Barrios of Mexico who crossed in the finish line in 28:51. Ahmed, who represented Canada in the 2012 Olympic Games, runs out of the Bowerman Track Club under coach Jerry Schumacher. Ahmed, 24, placed 18th in the 2012 Olympics and 9th in the 2013 World Championships, the best ever finish by a Canadian. In a previous interview with the Standard, Ahmed said he is looking forward to building on his successes on the track as he looks toward the 2016 summer games in Rio de Janerio, Brazil.

Hassan1508736697 Posted July 23, 2015 This dude needs to capitalize on this short lived notorioty because his winning time is the same time a runner who finished last gets in the world stage such as the diamond league, world championships and Olympics. Once again folks keep in mind that this was the Pan AM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
