Kenya Plans to once again dominate 3000SC men

Conseslus Kiproto sound warning at Doha League

Kenya has dominated the race since 1968.

It is all about “who will take the gold home for Kenya” 

Conseslus Kiproto, this young man has decreed a war with one man known well over, Eziekel Kemboi in 3000m steeple chase.

During the world championship in Beijing, it  clear there were some hostility between this two guys, NOTE, hostility in form of winning the gold medal, not personal one.

Eziekel Kemboi is well known for his explosive speed toward the finale 200, and the last handle which he does in style that always lips him far away from anyone following at close range. This was what he did during Beijing championship to deny young Kiproto a gold medal.

This race has become a Kenya affair since 1968 when Amos Biwott won gold medal, followed by Benjamin Kogo for silver. Since then, Kenya has won ten times, it is only in 1976(Montreal-

Canada)) and 1980 (Moscow), Kenya did not participate in the Olympics due to political stands.

The race is always very explosive as there are so many Kenyans who always do well in 3000m steeple chase, King Ezekiel Kemboi, young star Conseslus Kiproto, the wonder man Brimin Kipruto, Abel Mutai and many more are all set to make sure this gold is for Kenya.

“Kenya is the dominant nation, winning the past six men’s Olympic titles and taking 13 of the 18 medals on offer in those races. Qatar and Bahrain are also strong, although their success is chiefly obtained via Kenyan-born athletes.”

Kenya is yet to name her team  but some of this names will be in that list

Looking at just concluded Doha Diamond League, the battle will be between EziekelKemboi, the current title holder and the winner of Doha league, Conseslus Kiproto. Even though Kemboi was not among top finishes in Doha, I still have faith in him to collect one more gold medal at Rio games.

This is a race that will make world stand due to what Kenyans will produce, and this is one medal that I am counting for Kenya.

Go Kenya Go.
