Race fixing?


Sure??.....Who was that?.

Asbel Kiprop was injured. The commentators were like they didn't expect him to win the race. He came first, from behind Laughing out loudly .

I dont believe this story of saying someone was injured when they lose a race. This is just a convenient excuse. Kwani we took an injured Kenyan team to the games? same excuse has been given for Chemos, Lydia Rotich, Wilson Kiprop, Chepkurui.. How stupid can we get to send injured athletes games and expect medals?

Absolutes are :
3000 m steeplechase any of the 3 Kenyan participants
800 m Rudisha. The others will be bonuses. But both Vivian and Jelimo look like good value. I think 4 gold medals will be a good return.


Sad Sad Sad I expect team kenya to beat the 2008 hunt of 6 gold which was the best all-time kenyan performance at the olympics, 8 gold for me!!!


Sad Sad

meanwhile Tanzania is looking at our five medals with glee officials there been told to learn from kenya ,south africa is just one gold medal away from equaling its 1912 record they are only on three gold celebrations galore there

As Kenya is still taking a commanding lead in the promotion of sporting events

hmmm australia is also in crisis mode

Australia has been in distress since the London Olympics began, There are those who argue a poor gold medal tally is an appalling reflection of Australia's sporting prowess and an even worse for its self-esteem, playing out as it has on the international stage.
it lags painfully behind Great Britain whose sporting achievements Australia likes to think it has and can always trump. And, for many Australians, the distinct possibility that New Zealand might walk away from this Olympic Games with more medals would be too much to bear.

Something is just not adding up - Kiprop, Kiplagat and Chepseba had all won recent diamond league meetings in a time of around 3 min 28 secs Then when it comes to the big event, they let a little known Makerufi win the race in 3 min 34 secs. And then Kiprop smiles at the end of the raceShame on you hapa iko maneno.

the guy had an injury scare - ngoja uone if there is a 'money' race nxt week - wako ndani. but hey you cannot blame them (or you are) hakuna pesa Olympics
