Intro:

Script:

Amine Laalou is one of only a few Moroccan hopefuls at this years Olympic games.

He is training at the Ifrane resort in the heart of the Atlas Mountains. These plains have helped Morocco to so many glories in the world of athletics over the years.

SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Amine Laalou, Moroccan athlete: "During my career I've always had the chance to come first. This year I hope I can go back to my best by winning races in the best World Meeting, and from then I will know how I can perform at the Olympic Games."

The 30 year old has successfully qualified for both the 800m and the 1500m, however he will be concentrating his success on the 1500m this year with a personal best of 3.29.53, good enough for a podium if not a gold medal.

SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Amine Laalou, Moroccan athlete: "

To be honest, the Kenyan and the Ethiopian strategies are a hundred per cent successful. Their strategies are always successful. Us athletes never learn from our mistakes unless they happen during the Olympic Games."

With only 63 days to go to start of London 2012, time is ticking down.
