Hammou Boutayeb
Appearance
Hammou Boutayeb (Arabic: حمو بوطيب) (born 1956 in Khemisset) is a Moroccan former long-distance runner. He specialized in the 10,000 metres, and won a silver medal at the World Indoor Championships held in Seville, Spain.
At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Boutayeb competed in the 10,000 meter final, He was lapped with three laps to go, but then kept pace with the lead pack of Richard Chelimo and fellow Moroccan Khalid Skah, instead of giving way to them as dictated by the rules. This distracted Chelimo and caused him to lose rhythm. Skah won the race from Chelimo by 1.02 seconds, but was initially disqualified for receiving assistance from Boutayeb. However, Skah appealed and was reinstated.[1]
