Ibrahima Wade
Ibrahima Wade (born 6 September 1968) is a French sprinter who specializes in the 400 metres. He switched nationality from his birth country Senegal in 2000.
His personal best time is 45.05 seconds, achieved in August 1998 in Dakar. With 45.76 seconds from July 2004, he held the Masters M35 World record.[1] The record has been improved upon twice since, by Alvin Harrison (DOM) with a 45.68 in 2009 and by Chris Brown (BAH),with a 44.59 in 2014.[2] but neither of those marks have yet been ratified by World Masters Athletics, so Wade's mark still stands as the official record.
He reached the semi finals of the World Championships in 1997 and 1999.

gollark: Also, Go has `nil`, which is a mistake.
gollark: Like I said, lack of generics, lack of decent support for errors, and it's generally not expressive.
gollark: * able to fail
gollark: It makes some sense for them, really, since their type system and error handling is terrible enough that having more operations fail would make Go code even worse.
gollark: That would break backward compatibility.
