Experts at the Olympic Games in Beijing say for the first time in more than a century, the United States had a chance to win gold medals in the middle-distance running events of 1500 and 5000 meters. These hopes rest in large part on Bernard Lagat who was born in Kenya but now runs for the U.S. team. VOA's Scott Bobb in Beijing reports that, nevertheless, Lagat retains strong ties to Kenya.

  • i guess pride no longer has definition. everyone gets bought. "young american kids" yeah, i'm all for that...but why do the American kids get inundated and brainwashed with supposed atheletes that are dropouts, addicts, rapists and murderers? because the sport of running is not as marketable as basketball and football.
