Marathoners continues to make kenya proud. At least there is positive kenyan news on major world tabloids. Year on Year, the world is made aware that indeed Kenya has talent in marathon in particular and athletics in general.

The champions not only bring in money to the kenyan economy from their prize money, but also are Goodwill Ambassadors who are celebrated in foreign countries but little appreciated back home.

Conglatulations to the LONDON, VIENA, PARIS,....ETC Kenyan Champions.

Our winnings are getting Boring in the world stage, organizers are getting edgy on lack of interest to the sport due to Kenyan dominance.

[quote]but there is a gnawing fear among race organisers and, crucially, sponsors and advertisers, that global TV audiences are finding it all a bit boring. Just recently, the world cross country championships, which have been held annually since 1973, were changed to a biennial competition. The reason? East African dominance is killing interest in the event.[/quote]excerpt from http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/apr/18/london-marathon-kenyans-african-runner

[quote]Such dominance in sport is not usually seen as a problem. Take Roger Federer, Tiger Woods or Manchester United, for example. No one has ever sought to exclude them from a major competition on the grounds they are too good. In fact, the opposite is usually true. They are welcomed as sporting heroes. Usually, we love to watch the very best going head to head. But when the very best are all African, suddenly it becomes a problem.

I'm not tired of seeing a Kenyan run...and win. And not yet tired of hearing the national anthem played in far away lands. We need better PR for our teams.

Geoffrey Mutai has been denied word record due to some "technicalities".

I wonder if the same would happen if it was a Briton.

Again; Congratulations to the Kenyan Marathoners.

We dont need them to qualify our achievement. Mutai broke the record and another kenyan if not him will break it, fullstop.
