Excerpt: Andre Bucher (born 19 October 1976 in Neudorf, Switzerland) is a retired Swiss 800 metres runner who ran for Adidas. He is best known for winning the gold medal at the 2001 World Championships in Edmonton in his event. Bucher also won the indoor bronze that same year. Bucher won two European Championship silver medals in 1998, 2002 and also silver at the 2002 Indoor. Other achievements include finishing third at the 2003 IAAF World Athletics Final. At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney a medal was possibly chiselled out of him when he was barged by his competitor Andrea Longo. While Bucher finished the race in fifth place, Longo was later disqualified. On 17 August 2001, Bucher posted a personal best of 1:42.55 minutes in the 800 meters. That time currently ranks him as the 9th fastest athlete in history. On that race, he beat the young Yuriy Borzakovskiy by a decent margin. The week after, Borzakovskiy would post the time that currently makes him 8th fastest in history. Bucher retired in May 2007 due to a long-term heel injury. Viktor Rothlin (born October 14, 1974 in Kerns, Obwalden) is a Swiss long-distance runner who specializes in the marathon. He won the silver medal at the 2006 European Championships in Goteborg Sweden, the bronze medal at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka Japan, and the gold medal at the 2010 European Championships in Barcelona Spain. He also competed in the marathon at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney Australia (finishing 36th), at the 2004 Olympics in Athens (where he did not finish), and at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing China (where he placed 6th in a time of 2:10:35). He has set four Swiss national records at the marathon distance: In September 2001 at the Berlin Marathon, his time of 2:10:54 eclipsed the previous Swiss national record of 2:11:10 (set by Daniel Boltz in 1991). In April 2004, in his victory at the Zurich Marathon, Rothlin lowered the national record to 2:09:56. In April 2007, he lowered the national record again, when he w
