You write: 'I understand those fellas carry the dollars in a bag and go all the way to deposit in Eldoret banks...where they can explain themselves in their vernacular... Some little eduaction (sic) is good for them...' Only ONE Kenyan athlete was reported to be carrying his winnings in cash from some European race. This was the pnly way he could legally AVOID pay taxes on the money...and note 'AVOID',not EVADE!! Behind the gardens...Behind the wall...Under the tree (Including: Red...Dark Blue...Yellow) Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Rank: Elder Joined: 7/22/2009 Posts: 7,910		Congratulations are in order for Samuel 'Wanziru'. This young man has worked extremely hard and he deserves all that he's got and more. People should not hate. Let them work as hard in what they are good in and one day they'll reap the fruits. @Magigi - You are just a hater. Now,what would I want to be? Too much 'class' and no money (like one Magigi) or too much money and no class and 'no class' (Like 'those fellas'). You can be sure as hell I wouldn't want to be you! With money you can hire stylists,spokesmen,trainers (in all kind of stuff) but you can't hire anyone to make money on your behalf if you are broke in the first place - Get the picture. One more thing,it looks like you also need to get some eduaction!! Whatever that is!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

I had an opportunity to watch a programme where he was being interviewed. And boy,the amount of time and money he is putting back to the community is must unbelievable. Many of us cant even give back 1k in a year - he has founded a camp where he is nurturing talent in Nyahururu (by the way,the guy is not from eldoret and there sure must be banks in Nyahururu). He gave his story and i can tell you what he has achieved is not out of luck. it is out of recognition of his talent and working hard towards achieving his dreams from a one very very humble background. And as 'illiterate' as he may look,the guy has made many investments back home. Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Rank: Elder Joined: 7/22/2008 Posts: 2,723		GG, I think the world record can still be broken in Chicago. Wanjiru,Kipruto and Manyeki led by Patrick Ivuti crossed the halfway mark at exactly 62 minutes which was a little faster than Gabreselasie's world record half way mark. The pace dropped significantly immediately Ivuti the pacesetter dropped out halfway. Wanjiru did pick up the pace again at 1 hour 42 minutes but he had already lost time. The temperature at around 0 degrees centigrade was also a bit too cold. I think if they were to cross the halfway mark at 61 minutes,which is not impossible because Wanjiru is the half marathon world record holder at 58:33,and then get a pace setter to go further maybe upto 30 kilometres or even better all the way like Sammy Korir did with Tergat in his World Record run at Berlin a sub 2:03:30 is possible. A temperature a little higher than freezing yet not warm and no wind would also help. Having watched Wanjiru run I think it is just a matter of time before he nets the world record. He has the ability to keep up with any fast rabbit and the stamina to stay on. The record could however come to Kenya through a few other athletes out there. Kenya holds 16 of the 25 fastest marathon times ever ran. There is still Duncan Kibet,Kenya's record holder at 2:04:27. Vincent Kipruto who finished 4th in Chicago who is just 21. Martin Lel is also a serious contender. Weusi wa nywele za mshtakiwa zaonyesha ujinga alio nao

Rank: Veteran Joined: 7/3/2007 Posts: 1,635		All, I missed watching the Chicago Marathon yesterday,although I saw the news clip. It was a great run. This young man will break the World record. His coach said as much when he insisted that the challenge for Wanjiru's pace makers is to hold him down,otherwise he runs himself and everyone else to the ground. In his uninhibited running style he reminds me of John Ngugi. But I agree it will not happen in Chicago or New York. Berlin,or maybe Rotterdam,are the only tracks I can think of fast enough to break Haile Gibresselasie's Berlin run of 2007. For those who think it is an easy thing to run a 2.05 marathon,like Wanjiru did,think about this. To prepare for the Marathon,he was doing more than 180Km a week for at least 12 weeks before Chicago. To run a 2.05 he had to do every one of 42 Km in 3 minutes or better. Think about that when you talk of an easy win. It is nothing but. Finally I feel truly proud that our African runners (unlike footballers) are known for their humility rather than their arrogance. Think of Kip Keino,Tergat,even the great Haille himself. I met Wanjiru in Ndakaini recently. He did not run; he did not even have to show up. However I understand he made his debut here (the toughest half Marathon on Earth) and his debt of gratitude would not keep him away. That is true greatness in my book,not the ability to speak Queens English. *"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth."* (Niels Bohr)
