Omo, if you see what some of those people go through when theyre training in their countries, you wont be surprised when they look old

At times they can only afford to take one small bowl of pap before they run for miles all day

Maybe he falsified his age, but maybe he didnt

These kinsmen of Oshiomole have always been doing great in running contests, regardless of their national flag which someone once said, looks like an herbalist business card.

Oshiomole is proud of you.
It don’t matter what our flag looks like, you should try find out the meaning.Anyway, that didn’t stop our own from winning.

When you get used to very vigorous exercises, they drain all the fat out your body, causing the skin to lose its shiny appearance & elasticity.The result is an older looking person than their actual age.

Yes, athletes may look older due to lack of fat in their bodies which obviously affects the appearance of the skin.

They live in high altitude areas so their lungs have adapted to accommodating more oxygen meaning they won't get tired easily. Same with Ethiopians too

Eliud Kipchoge has become the first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours, beating the mark by 20 seconds, MySportDab reports.

The Kenyan, 34, covered the 26.2 miles (42.2km) in one hour 59 minutes 40 seconds in the Ineos 1:59 Challenge in Vienna, Austria on Saturday.

It will not be recognised as the official marathon world record because it was not in open competition and he used a team of rotating pacemakers.

"This shows no-one is limited," said Kipchoge.

"Now I've done it, I am expecting more people to do it after me."

FULANI MEN AND WOMEN IN NIGERIA GO AND PARTICIPATE IN INTERNATIONAL ATHLETICS FOR NIGERIA.

I am wondering why Fulani men and women in Nigeria can not use their lanky physique to represent Nigeria at this athletics competition being dominated by the Kenyans, Eritrean, Ethiopians, Somalian, Djiboutian etc.

They are busy herding cattle and using their cattle to look for trouble left and right side of Nigeria.

They should use their God given phyisque given to them by nature to win medals for Nigeria.

Abi na melu them one do all their lives?

he tried all d same but since it wasn't a open competition wc is more of
a standard as he would have competed with more star athletes where winning is more paramount than setting a record then it is still a little off. But kudos to him all d same n for a pacemaker, check image below or google
