A Scream And A Prayer
The eye couldn't help but fasten on Noureddine Morceli and Hassiba Boulmerka as they ran their respective 1,500-meter finals at the world championships in Tokyo last summer. They stood out in their Algerian green, the green of mallards and meadows, the green of Islam. Morceli, the indoor-record holder, was the favorite in the men's race, but Boulmerka was virtually unknown in the women's.
Morceli followed a strong, even pace and kicked early, with a full 400 meters to go. He blasted into the lead so hard, burning 100 meters in a maniacal 12.8 seconds, that he seemed certain to be exhausted well before the homestretch.
Boulmerka didn't claw out of the pack and into the lead until late in the last turn. Behind her was world and Olympic 3,000-meter champion Tatyana Samolenko Dorovskikh of the U.S.S.R., famed for her kick and just beginning to open up.
Morceli covered the second 100 of his last lap in another extraordinary 12.8. His third 100 was yet another 12.8. He had just run the fastest finishing 300 in the history of championship 1,500s, but he still had 100 meters to go and Kenya's Wilfred Kirochi was only five meters back.

He explained that the reason for that; when the winner was Firmin Cacho of Spain. He told me “The main injury that year was sciatic nerve trouble that stopped me doing the speed work for three months. It was killing me in the muscle.” That definitely contributed to Noureddine’s loss of form on the day also, training in the pollution of Mexico City. In the final he got shoved and boxed in which did not help.
Here were two of his World records he achieved, that he talked about “The 1500 in Rieti of 3:28.6
On the 6thof September,1993. “It was more special because it was the Olympic distance and to be World record holder for that meant a lot to me and sometimes, it is very difficult to make the difference because, each World record has respect and, let’s say the Mile World record I did of 3:44.39, to take off Steve Cram’s World record time of 3:46.33, that had stood since 1985!“ (Morceli ran his fastest World record of 3:27.37 for 1500 in Nice on 12
