In Third, Abdi Abdirahman is Top American Man at New York City Marathon
After missing the Olympic Marathon Trials due to injury in February, the four-time Olympian rebounds with a bold performance.

Today, Abdirahman, 39 years and 10 months old, reached the podium and ran 2:11:23. “Age is just a number to me,” said Abdirahman. “I believe you can do anything you put your mind to. Actually, my age might have been an advantage, because I’ve been around so long, and knew the course.”

His dob is 01/01/1977 so he's probably more like 45. Impressive.

Interesting .on a serious note , most famous Somali long distance runners hail from a regions close to Ethiopia .oromo runners also dominate long distance Athletics in Ethiopia . The dir and Isaac banu Hashemites seem to be producing good long distance runners .although that does not explain why waraabe is obese and unable to move .

You got that fking right, about the most famous Somali distance runners being from Waqooyi. We just won the 5k and 1,500 m in the Matrix SL ciyaaraha fudud competitions.

Don't let your provincial qabyalad blind you bro, you are way better than that. He is after all, the greatest, most famous Somali Faarax,

It's all just internet shit talk. In real life, this qabil shit is insignificant. Especially in the west we're all just Somali. I root for him, cheer for him, and I'm incredibly happy when he wins. I just kiss my teeth a little when he pulls out the Somaliland flag.

Bro, I am the founder of the Somalia anthropologist congregation(jamaacatu DNa).I am also a Somali earth scIentist by hobby .descriptions like reer waqooyi are nonsensical.when I say Isaac and dir ,note that I do not believe them to be actual biological clans .these are all coalitions of some related and non-related people ;that is ,if one objectively scrutinises the Arab origin myths .

You will know that from the little DNa testing that has been done the sub-clan of a person does not always corelate with their haplgroup.my hypothesis was meant to trigger debate ,though not in the sense some have taken it .i am specifically interested in how the t haplogroup could perhaps be producing more talented runners .however ,this would only be one variable to consider .
