	MarathonGuide.com - Marathon Press Releases
		Khalid Khannouchi, 31, the fastest marathon runner in history, will return to his home away from home to showcase his dominance in marathoning on the streets of Chicago.
		Khannouchi and Takaoka were running side by side, shoulder to shoulder when Khannouchi broke away from Takaoka like a roadrunner in the middle of the McCormick Place Tunnel.
		Khannouchi, who withdrew from the London Marathon this year, overcame one of the strongest fields ever assembled to lower his own World Record in a victory at the 2002 London Marathon with a time of 2:05:38.

	Marc Bloom Running
		Khalid has come to do his morning 8.5-mile run on the wooded trails of adjacent Forest Park, a 10-minute drive from the apartment he shares with Sandra and her two teenage daughters in Brooklyn.
		Khalid is 26, slight, with chiseled features, a sober expression and the fervor of someone who, as a Muslim, prays five times a day.
		The Khannouchis' second-floor walkup is in a moving mode, and Sandra apologizes for the disarray.

	Khannouchi hopes Irish eyes will smile on him - The Washington Times: Sports (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Khannouchi cited a "nagging injury" when he withdrew last week from the Chicago Marathon, a race he has owned since he burst on the scene with his first marathon in 1997.
		Khannouchi rightfully is protecting himself for the one moment in his life when he finally can feel validated for moving to the United States in 1992.
		Khannouchi was on top of the world when he smashed the world record at Chicago in 1999 and appeared to be a shoo-in for the 2000 U.S. Olympic team and a gold medal.

	From Press Row: Elian, Khalid Khannouchi and media frenzy - Sports
		Khalid Khannouchi, a native of Morocco, first arrived in the United States in 1993 to compete in the World University Games in New York.
		Before long, Khannouchi's cause hit a snag as his caseworker was charged with bribery in cases unrelated to the marathoner's.
		As it appeared clear to Khannouchi that his case would not make it through the INS red tape in time for him to compete as an American in the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials and then hopefully in the Olympics in Sydney, he and his supporters began a grassroots letter-writing campaign.

	Khannouchi gains citizenship Status for Sunday's marathon still in question
		Marathon world-record holder Khalid Khannouchi was sworn in as a United States citizen yesterday morning, just in time to participate in Sunday's U.S. Olympic men's marathon trials.
		Khannouchi's wife, Sandra, has said that the injury isn't serious, which might not matter if Khannouchi's native Morocco decides to block his participation.
		Khannouchi eventually became a permanent resident in 1998, but he was not eligible to become a citizen by way of his marriage until 2001.

		Khannouchi, who also won Chicago in 1997, trailed Kenyan Moses Tanui by 33 seconds at the 21-mile mark on a course that drew many of the world's top runners because of its relative ease.
		Khannouchi stayed near the front the entire race, running with Osoro and Joseph Kahugu before Tanui made a charge and caught the group between the 17th and 18th miles.

		Khannouchi will be in Cincinnati, Ohio for the Flying Pig Marathon on May 14, 2000 to lend his expertise at the Marathon's weekend clinics and other activities throughout the race weekend.
		Though Khannouchi was not involved with the illegal activities, his case has been delayed and may not be complete in time for Khannouchi to participate in the 2000 Olympics, as he has chosen not to represent his native Morocco if he cannot represent the United States.

	Rojo Sounds Off
		Prior to Khalid getting his citizenship, I read in the Washington Post that they said he might be allowed to compete if his citizenship was imminent but not yet finalized.
		Then it was the IAAF who said that Khalid didn't need to be released by Morocco as although he had run for them in the past, he had only done so in minor competitions which didn't count - although it was never clear if this was true.
		Suppose Khalid competed in the Trials and came in the top 3 but it ultimately was determined that he isn't eligible to compete in the Olympics for the US.
