Fattest sprinter in the world?

American Samoa has never produced any winning sprinters.

But there was 17-year-old Sogelau Tuvalu competing in one of the 100 metre heats at the world track championships at Daegu, South Korea.

He looks like an offensive lineman lumbering down the field. The kid was twice the size of the other six competitors and was the only athlete not wearing spikes. He finished last with a time of 15.66 seconds - six seconds slower than winner

The time is the second slowest in the history of the championships. That honour goes to Kim Collins from Saint Kitts who ran in 21.73 seconds in Athens in 1997.
