Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim, as his achievements as a track athlete were not recent. The petitioner also did not establish that he would continue to work in his area of expertise, as he was seeking employment as a tutor and there was no evidence he intended to continue competing as a runner.
