36 year old Paul Martelletti is New Zealand's fastest marathon runner and has run the qualifying time for the marathon at the Rio Olympics, but Athletics NZ won't nominate him to go!
The Olympic qualifying standard is two hours and 19 minutes, and Palmy Paul smashed this when he ran the London Marathon in two hours, 17 minutes and 26 seconds. 
He's also a world record holder for running the fastest marathon dressed as a superhero when he ran the London Marathon dressed in a full spiderman costume in 2 hours and 29 minutes.
Paul doesn't really have a chance of winning a medal at Rio, but he deserves to go and live his dream!!
