Zouhair Talbi (born 8 April 1995) is an Moroccan long distance runner.[1]
Originally from Tighassaline, Khenifra, Morocco, he studied at the Northwest Kansas Technical College, and then moved to Oklahoma City University.[2] He was a 2015 World University Games silver medalist.[3] He has also competed for Florida State University[4] for whom he was racing when he set a 28:02 personal best in Portland, Oregon in 2019.[5]
On May 14, 2021, he met the Olympic qualifying standard as he won the 10,000m at the Sound Running Track Meet in California and in doing so improved his personal best from 28:02 to 27:20:61.[6] It was the second-fastest performance ever by a collegiate athlete and ranked No. 7 in the world for the year so far. Displaying a fast finish Talbi was in third with two laps remaining before covering the final 400 meters in 59.41 seconds to beat and Joe Klecker.[7] However, Talbot had to be pulled from the Olympics shortly before the commencement as he had not met the drug testing requirements for an athlete from Morocco.[8]
