Djama Robleh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Djama Robleh (Somali: Jaamac Rooble) (born December 31, 1958) is a retired Djiboutian long-distance runner who specialized in the marathon race.

He won the silver medal in this event at the 1982 African Championships[1] and finished eighth in the marathon at the 1984 Summer Olympics.[2] In addition he placed 47th at the 1983 World Championships,[3] took third in the 1985 World Marathon Cup (in which his team finished first), and entered the 1987 World Championships without finishing the race.[4]

His personal best time came as he trailed Steve Jones to a second-place finish in the 1985 Chicago Marathon. Robleh's time was 2:08:08, a winning time for most year, but Jones ran a near-world record at the race, clocking a 2:07:17.

The current Djiboutian record is held by Ahmed Salah with 2:07:07 hours.[5]
