Kenya expects to win more medals today in Beijing Championship

Till now Kenya is leading the medal standing with two gold, two silver and two bronze. But this total might change today at 20:35 and 20:55 local time in Beijing when 800m and 1500m(30/08/2015) finales takes place.

David Rudisha

In  800m as i had predicted , David Rudisha is recovering well and  going with what we saw in heats, i still put my money on Rudisha to win the title. Kenya will be represented by three runners lead by David Rudisha, Alfred Kipketer and the man who defeated Rudisha during the Kenya selections, Ferguson Rotich. With Nijel Amos out (current  Diamond league leader) after he failed to qualify in the slow semi-finale race won by Rudisha and World Champion Aman who was disqualified for abstraction, gives the Kenya team a good chance to claim the title. This will happen if the team will be able to do good calculation that will burn the fast finishing kicks of Amel Tuka from Bosia who won heat one in 1:44.48. This was the fastest of all heats.

Asbel Kiprop

In 1500m, Kenya hopes are on shoulders of Asbel Kiprop, who with his current form, it will take a miracle to defeat him. In Monaco he destroyed a strong field of great runners when he run away and finished the race in 3:26.69, everyone will be looking to see how Asbel can can. To assist him will be another great runner in 1500m and also willing to grab the medal from Asbel, Silas Kiplagat. In 2011 world championship in Daegue Silas won silver behind Asbel Kiprop and in Commonwealth games India he won Gold. thus he will be going too for the gold as he has what it takes.
The third member of this team will be Elijah Manangoi , he is very new in team Kenya and especially 1500m as he was trying 400m which he switched before 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.The 22 years old Manangoi did not disappoint his couch and he went on to splash Scottish city. Manangoi still remember that moment when he trebled in the changing room at Nyayo stadium, Nairobi for Glasgow selection who included Asbel Kiprop no need to remind you who he is, Olympian Nixon Cheseba, then Commonwealth Games silver medallist James Magut, Diamond

Elijah Manangoi(C)

League speedster Ronald Kwemoi and All African Games silver medallist Collins Cheboi.
Agaist all odds Manangoi went on to finish second to Ronald Kwemoi, this was the new beginning for him, and now he is lining up in Beijing with all his strength fixed for a podium finish.
