My training was intense and serious. But so far, my fate has been not to reach the podium at the Olympic Games and the World Championships. I gave it my all to represent my country as best I could. I participated in two finals, the 1500m and 800m, but couldn't win. I started the race well, but I found myself boxed in and hampered in the last 100 meters by some runners, which is why the medal eluded me. The training I undertook was intense and rigorous. But so far, my fate has been to miss out on the podium at the Olympic Games and World Championships. The Moroccans are not responding, August 24 2009 I would like to thank all the media outlets for their unwavering and constant support of all Moroccan athletes. I will give my all to live up to the confidence of the Moroccan press and win the 1500m at the 2011 World Championships Amine Laalou: "It's an honor but also a responsibility.", December 14 2010 External links Category:Living people Category:1982 births Category:Sportspeople from Morocco Category:Track and field athletes
