Yes, he won but he jumped the start to do it.  That's a great photo by the

OK, OK... I'll admit it... You won the foot race that day, but _I_ have been
in more sheeeitholes.....

The crappiest places I've been are:

Iraq
Eastern Turkey
The Sudan
Peruvian jungle (Iquitos)

just to name the worst ones.

You had it easy in Saudi... Very civilized there.
