It won't, because even though Khannouchi is finally a citizen, he also is injured and can't run in Pittsburgh without risking his career. So he cried. You may or may not be comfortable with the country-hopping that has become a significant part of the Olympic Games. You may not be able to hum the Australian national anthem next fall if Tatiana Grigorieva, a transplanted Russian, wins the women's pole vault. You may squirm when former Kenyan Wilson Kipketer wins the 800 meters wearing the singlet of Denmark, his country of citizenship.
Athletes often invite cynicism with their globetrotting.
By competing for Denmark, Kipketer escaped the vicious competition in his native country. Pick a country, any country. Khannouchi's situation is almost unique. At his best, he is the top marathoner in the world. This would be the case whether he was wearing the colors of Morocco, the United States or Antigua.
