now that the olympics are over jelimo and kiplagat win in the diamond league NKT!

Kenyans dominate the distances

Silas Kiplagat, the first Kenyan finisher at the Olympics in seventh place, restored some creditability to his nation's reputation when keeping his nerve in the final straight with six runners in contention to win the 1500m in 3:31.78.

I have been having some crazy thoughts about the 1,500 Meters Men race and I am not surprised by the results. I keep on wondering, now that our team members may have met the Algerian guy who trained in Kenya for the Olympics, could the Algerian have bought his Olympic title from the Kenyans especially considering the Kenyans had the best times before the Olympics?

Money answereth all things.

I saw Jelimo/cherono run and win and felt like puking.
I didnt feel like celebrating at all because,
The pride is gone, so is the air and the 'glory'
They are like empty shells running.
I care less.

Saw Jelimo give away the Gold, and even the the last medal as she lazily walked towards the finish line. Think they had a big score /vendetta to settle with the officials some of whom occupied Olympic village denying the team doctor accommodation within!
