Sport Today

Available for over a year

Let's return to athletics and the second part of our interview with Hicham El Guerrouj. He's already explained how he believes finally winning Olympic gold in Athens was his destiny - that his victories in 2004 allowed him to celebrate that success with his baby daughter. But now, in the second part of that interview, he discusses his world records - and who might break them. He tells Ed Harry that Kenya's Asbel Kiprop has everything needed to make a successful attempt on his 1500m world record, which he set in Rome in 1998.
