		Jaouad Gharib shocked the field at the 2003 IAAF World Championships Marathon not only by winning, but by smashing the 20-year-old World Championships record that Rob de Castella had set at the first edition in 1983.
		Gharib's fastest marathon time came at London in 2004 although there is some question as to whether it should be 2:07:02 (results time) or 2:07:12 (clearly showing on finish clock of race video coverage).
		Jaouad Gharib is a Berber from Khenifra, a town in the Middle Atlas region of Morocco.

		Gharib then started making his way up again, but this time he was more measured about it, getting to the fourth place by the 25km mark and the third place by 30km.
