Also been "robbed" of the title of first person to run the length of Africa by the World Runners Association. Fair play to Jesper Olsen that is a hell of a run too:

Yeah that's a bigger achievement but I think there's a stipulation that Russ was the first to do the 'full length' of Africa.
Also interesting conflict of interest, of the 7 members of the WRA, Jesper is one!
Seems they'd back his achievement over Russ' out of aliegence
