 Are defending back to back. They are very, very, very nice. The beauty of it is that Why we perform so well in women dancing We took the podium finish And we were very fast we were in the 6th position in the world Kama Capital performance What about men's title? We have always been struggling If you look on the last squad S serwe was there again And the performance again is still wanting s moment Kuputumia, bakit tuwa kua kubusu... Risa kama Roa nipikiwa phati kikiwa kwa kufutumia Wanstu, mtema kukuni nii hivutua Makawu T게 kuna api rillu kia kama Roa Kukuni tuwa kwa biye gkę Utajikama kaki Kukuni nii hivutu kula Kukuni tuwa nipikiwa kama Roa Kuku haza kacto yakuma Kika hibutu kufututa We were in the trials for a world cross country Even we thought he was going because he was number 2 But again he came, it was a builder for the coming race Which is in April He is going to Boston to run at Boston So it was an endurance race for him to just gauge where he is So main wise we are still far Itopian have learnt the good about us And they beat us again Last time again he took silver Again this time he took silver But we were lucky to get a bronze this time around And of course the mix really, Kenya really putting up We are good The man Munguti Munguti has delivered Do you remember 2017 The time for Mora again Munguti delivered He gave us the gold only for Mora Now to polish what was remaining When they thought they had finished at the 150 mark Mora Dos Santos And you can see the form that Dos Santos is So those are the stages development studies Because if you look at Dos Santos right now You know those people who get money for appearance fee It's so huge And I think he's enjoying his efforts Of going to where he is And it was also Not It was good to see Teopia struggling in the mix really An athlete losing a shoe It was a happy moment for us Because they took our record What else can we do is to show them that we are still there We are still the best in the one We are still the best in Africa And we will continue being because We have They are coming up The build up is so well And we are taking records We are winning every races Look at the race that just happened The one you are going to talk about Especially the Tokyo race You see how Kenyan we prevailed Against a strong field That had been brought or assembled up So Graduation wise or development wise Kenyan is always ahead of Teopia That's in Sabia During the World Cross Country Championship Let's talk about the composition Of the Olympic Marathon teams Which AK did Name this week in Eldorat Yes, the composition Let's begin with the man's team Of course we know that Elid Kipchoga is headlining That particular squad But we can talk about the rest Of the members who make up the team The funny thing about that team is Because Likewise this is my opinion At the moment Elid again The form or the shape That he used to be in Is really now oneing And I think his progression Now instead of going up The progression of Elid now Is landing It's staggering going back now To the level that the board now Is not responding About the response About how you woke up Those come into factor To play when you're in the field And the funny thing about this team Is that there are four Actually three guys in that lineup That beat Elid Kipchoga At Tokyo A week ago This Benson He gave him a double tragedy He beat him and then again He erased his course record 40 to 20 No 20 40 to 20 216 So wiping that record again And then Elid even Not being among the top leading people Because he finished actually top 10 He was the number 10 And if you see the time that he ran again 206 has never been Elid's time So you can see And then if you go back again The first rest of the run again It's a little bit shaky But look at Benson Benson is growing progressively He's a fighter And I wish to somebody That could have pushed him Because running two or two in Tokyo It means that you're in one of the best shape Because the weather patterns there They aren't favorable For running a marathon And going and breaking the course record And then pulling alone Timotekip Lagatu has been named in the team And the next podium is Vincent Getich Again he was there There was only one manyao that was not among those people Who was not So for us especially for the main team We have one of the best Surprisingly this one I can predict I don't see again Elid defending It will be a tall order for him to defend this title Given by the fresh legs That are in the team But the prediction is the medal could remain in the country The medal is ours We are rolling right now If you look We look with running it's about statistics Running never lie Because running if you tell me in 10 km You can run 27 We just put you on the road We put you on the track Then we click on the clock Then we tell you now go Show us what you have We're running in Neverland And then statistics they help us To predict what might happen One of the cremiest ever assembled team Because I'm looking at Paris So world class athletes Is among the top 5 female in the world We call such a layer of people Premier athletes Appearance for such people is from 18 million To around 50 million For her to appear in your race That's the category that this lady is in Because she has been a champion She's the defending champion She's the New York champion She has been trashing records since the time she came She never stepped onto the track She just ran one track race Then she found herself Because she was training with people So she found herself joining them And then going and that has been the One of the favorite Or the best stories ever You can sit down in Paris And be told about The second individual is Helen O'Berry Helen O'Berry is one of the cremiest Marathon runner that we have had She has a history of double Double silver medalist olympic Double world champion That is 5000 over the 5000 Distance And when you look at her progression Again even in the build up She has been running so fantastic Winning races that people never expected her to win We go to Rosemary One of the brilliant again women We have around best in Eldoret Rosemary was the defending champion Tokyo marathon actually She was beaten this time to second place By an Ethiopian Which was okay but when we look at the time And the factors that were in the race We say she is still in the shape She represented Kenya previously And she is there to fight for it again Then somebody else that is in the room We have Lokedi Sharon Sharon Lokedi is a former New York Marathon champion And then I think the list is done I think there is no one else So the creme that we have I think nobody is going to compare with what we have We will seal the podium On the winning side Kenya staying on course For a place to honestly While at the relays That's at the Olympics What are our chances of course The national towns are ongoing As we speak at Nyayo Statistically because right now The weather actually we haven't seen the best Of our people because the weather Is really affecting the performance Because the times that are being run Right now at Nyayo Because if you look at We have been having the 400 Races people running at 46 And the fastest person has been Zablon Zablon has run 40 No 45-21 Qualifying his 45 flat We look at 200 Again 90-100 meters We expected Marko Tieno actually has been the leading Actually he wasn't leading Has no Chege led because he ran In 1036 And the qualifying time People are looking at 10-02 So we don't have time right now Omanyala has run 200 meters He was the fastest In the entire field 20-21 So again that time Even himself saying I thought I had really done my best But it wasn't coming because The weather factor is affecting Because the body is too cold So we can get that To the level that is supposed to be So the weather today has really affected our team And we hope that the performance Or as they go to us going to the camp Something good might happen Of course and in Nassau Bahamas We have We can keep the hope alive Of them getting the qualifying times For the Olympics Yes, Bahamas is a qualifying event Let me tell you We have been good But with the effect of Omanyala coming into place Kenya has really We have inborn talents That have been negated People are not focusing on the short traces Because they thought we are not good at them But look now we have somebody like Kusablo Nekwam running in such a weather And then you are running good time Like 45 seconds That is good time that you can achieve If the weather was good That man could have gone below 45 So which means that if you look at him statistically Or gradually how he has been Progressing We see the progression is going Again look at him Ekwam is a KDF individual With KDF is not The training session that they go through Is not the same as what PE, prison and Kenya police go through With KDF Their first priority Is not about running First priority is your army officer So the full period of training So again that one loading And everything the mileage goes to zero So building up coming back It has taken time almost three years For Zablo Nekwam to be where he is So statistically We see ourself the team that we are having Especially for 4x100 I tell you we will be on the podium If we don't take gold We will take our bronze because we are having Omanyala mark is starting Then we are having Hezbon Mike Mokamba And then Omanyala is going to wrap up the game So I see ourself at Bahamas We will podium Yes maybe The importance of having Omanyala and Mary Moraz In this particular mix up In the relay team Moraz been on fire I think it's her season She won gold in 400 She won gold at Africa She is the champion When you look at it And then her main opponent I think Muna I think the transition of changing cultures It really affected her And that is one thing we also need to look at For Omanyala performance I am really in doubt Although I have been talking to him He is coming into my place But I am really in doubt The transition they have used At this particular moment When you build up to an olympic You need consistency Consistency is very key Especially for these short races And I don't argue About changing coach You can change coach for your progression But the timing of changing the coaching Is what really matters Because with coaching especially for short distance I have my own program On how I want you to perform Which means we are going to start from zero So that you can take what I have So you are trashing everything And you can have been trained So starting from zero Building it up to the level That you want this individual to be With the time frame that we had It is eight months to the olympics Which is the premier dealer cream For any athlete in the world Then you change the course in between To build you up even to come And fall into that system Will take you around six months minimum It must take you progression of two years For you to be where that coach is predicting So these are nichish About a performance for this year Something to watch out You watch on 20th at Kip Keino We might be surprised There's a young man coming from Botswana, Tabogo That man might surprise us It's a person to watch The world silver medalist And he's in great shape You have seen him at South Africa Grand Prix Trashing records at right left center All that about the qualifiers For the world relays That's happening in Nassau Bahamas, that's on fourth and fifth Of next month Remember just like John has mentioned Kenya is gaining Or looking for a ticket to the olympic games And in the mix some of the dependable names In Kenya's athletic history Are all putting their lives On the line for the country So that we go for the relays for the first time It's been a while before Kenya really Was at the relays at the olympics especially Thank you so much You going back to Nyaya I don't know somebody as SMS I think it's a colleague Maybe the naming of the team is happening right now But one thing I know is That what will be selected Is the best that we have at the moment And investment We have never invested into the short races I pray that now these people From the Manila effect has really changed Everything and even now We are having many short sprint coaches That are coming on board and doing everything That they can But one thing we forgot about that relay Before we wrap up the show Is the effect of the baton changing That is the major cost It affects with really training You will never predict anything Because even to the champions of champions Even in the United States The baton usually fall down And then there is a limitation of exchange Of the baton which happens You are supposed to change in a bracket If you miss outside that You are disqualified If the baton falls to pick up again with anybody else It might lead you to nowhere So it's a technical event That anyone can take That's what I'm predicting We will be on the bracket list All the best to Team Kenya And all those that will be forming That particular team to Bahamas Up next I'll be speaking Black Falcons That's Kabadi Club So the Falcons Will be engaging later This is the touch line Don't go too far
