Source-derived summary

Abderrahime Bouramdane (born 23 June 1978) is a Moroccan long-distance runner who competes in marathons. He represented Morocco at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea. After winning his first two marathons in Tunis and Marrakesh, Bouramdane represented his country at the World Championships in Athletics in 2005 and 2007.

He won his first international medal at the 2005 Jeux de la Francophonie, taking the marathon bronze. He won the 2006 National Capital Marathon and had a series of second-place finishes, which included runner-up spots at the JoongAng Seoul Marathon and 2008 Boston Marathon. He placed in the top five at the New York City Marathon in 2008 and 2009. His personal best of 2:07:33 hours was set at the 2010 London Marathon. This time ranks him as the fifth fastest Moroccan over the marathon distance.

Career

He grew up in Fes and, inspired by the exploits of Olympic marathon medalist Rhadi Ben Abdesselam, he took up running in 1993. He won his first two top level marathon races, breaking the course record to win the 2004 Tunis Marathon in a time of 2:15:38 hours, and then improving to 2:15:16 to win the Marrakesh Marathon.

Editorial summary

“Abderrahime Bouramdane” enters the record as moroccan marathon runner and 2008 Olympian. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Abderrahime, Bouramdane and Moroccan can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1978, 2008, 2011, 2005—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1978-06-23, 1978-01-01—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Abderrahime, Bouramdane and Moroccan.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Abderrahime Bouramdane” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Abderrahime, Bouramdane and Moroccan provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 15, 2026.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
