Chirine is a Lebanese Alpine Skier who lives in Chicago (United States), she represented Lebanon in the 2002 2006 and 2010 Winter Olympic Games. When, how, why did Chirine start running? How did she run 3 hours 7 minutes in the Chicago marathon 3 weeks ago, knowing that the Lebanese record stands on 3:00:02! We contacted Chirine and she answered all our questions:

Who is Chirine Njeim?

Being an accomplished athlete has taught me a significant amount about myself and what truly motivates me. Through my experiences, I have always set ‘the bar’ high in an attempt to continually better myself and to reach my dreams.  One of those dreams was to compete in the Olympics as an alpine skier, a dream I realized in 2002, 2006, and in 2010 for my home country, Lebanon. To achieve that dream, I had to learn how to sacrifice and to be self-sufficient.

When did you decide to start running?

Studying, traveling and skiing have been my occupations since the age of 10. Skiing will always be my #1 sports at heart. I Never stopped skiing, I just couldn't race after the 2010 Olympic games because the Lebanese ski federation put a ho ... Read more »

We heard that all the records set by Champville athletes at Sports City on the last meeting organized by Inter-Lebanon and Champville clubs, have been denied by the Lebanese Athletics Federation due to the fact that Elie Saade, the head coach at Champille club, was the only member of the LAF present, even though Fady Saleme, another member of the LAF, was also present that day and Elie Saade was there as a representative of the Federation. This means that the 2 records set by Sara-Joe Kortbawi and the 60m records set by Lea Obeid and Nour Mouaness will not be registered.

To be sure that this information is true, we contacted Elie Saade who denied this story and said that the records aren't confirmed YET, simply because he has the results and for personal reasons couldn't attend the meeting of the LAF.

We hope that these young athletes keep what's rightfully theirs. Athletes should never be the victims of misunderstandings and political problems.
