...practically homegrown. Born in Guyana and reared in Miramar, Florida, where his father, a Saudi-Yemeni cleric now deceased, preached hard-line Wahhabism at a small mosque, el-Shukrijumah took computer classes at Broward Community College in Florida. He holds Guyanese and Trinidadian passports, may also possess Canadian and Saudi passports, and can easily pass for Hispanic.

After analyzing the race, his coach concluded that Mintenko blew it?literally?at the 75-m mark. The analysis showed that Mintenko's shallow breathing after the 50-m turn didn't allow him to maintain enough oxygen to keep his muscles from tiring.
