Kweli kabisa!!!

I hope we get 8 gold medals, with Vivian Cheruiyot bagging the double and a 1,2,3 in 3,000 steeplechase and men's marathon

Jason Dunford misses the final.
Now that Olympics proper starts tomorrow, Here is the IAAF link to the olympics games with full timetable of all athletics events including the start list, seasonal best and personal best for each athlete plus their athletics history.

Congrats to Jason for making it to the semis, me think the only problem they got is endurance, dude was 2nd at 50m mark and then last on the return!!!

thats when the yet-to-be-banned anabolic steroids usually kick in.

Let the gold rush begin. Barring any Russian or Chinese unknown surprises Vivian should bring hme the 1st gold. Dibaba has not been in very good form.
