2004 Olympic champion Felix Sanchez of the Dominican Republic continued his quest for another Olympic gold medal with a winning run in the men's 400m hurdles at the Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athletisme in Rabat, Morocco on Sunday, 27 May. The event brought together 113 athletes competing in 17 events, and about 30 former medalists at the Olympics or World championships.
Sanchez clocked 48.93secs just under the 48.96 posted by Britain's world champion David Green. Jack Green, also of Great Britain, was third with 49.45.
The ninth stage of the IAAF World Challenge held at the Prince Moulay Abdellah sports complex in Rabat, is a preparatory for the London Olympics in July.
Sanchez has been having a good year. He set a new record for the 400m Indoor Hurdles in February.
His medal at the Athens, Olympics in 2004 was the Dominican Republic's first-ever Olympic gold medal. The Olympic Stadium in Santo Domingo was named in his honor after that achievement.
This will be Felix Sanchez's third Olympics. Sanchez, a psychology graduate from the University of Southern California, first competed in the Sydney Olympics in 2000, when he failed to advance to the final.
