Kenyans and the 3000m SteepleChase among other things

Before Hicham's event, the 3000m steeplechase witnessed camaraderie of a
different kind. 3 Kenyans led the pack in the last lap. The leader then turned
back to his compatriots and urged them to catch up while he slowed with
disregard to setting a record. Then the trio crossed the finish line one after
the other, in what is another fond memory from this Olympics. The silver
medallist is barely out of his teens and will be the guy to watch at the next
one. Apparently the Kenyans have not had a good run(no pun intended!) at this
edition, being eclipsed by other nations in their events. But sport has its own
way of creating romance!

One need only look at 1924 Paris, where Eric Liddell refused to run on a Sunday
in his best event of 100 m sprint, but ran in 400m and won, to see proof of
this!

I am hoping Paula Radcliffe does the same with 10000m after failing to finish
the event she has so dominated in the last 2 years.
