Athletics world championships 2015

The games in Beijing start tomorrow.
As usual Kenya has prospects for 3 to 4 gold medals. But it will be tough this time

Most interesting will be the race between Bolt and Gatlin in the 100m

Wire forks…history in the making

Nigel Amos has been great this season and Rudisha will have to work hard to win that gold. 5,000 and 10,000 m for both male and female will also be a tough nut to crack. It will be sad if Bolt loses to former cheat, Gatlin who looks very good after a four year ban.

Kenyan men marathoners have been beaten by East African counterparts…Eritrea 1st, Ethiopia 2nd and Uganda 3rd.

Rudisha hawezi shinda gold. Amos has s powerful finish. On 100m, I think Justin Gatlin won’t beat bolt. In an interview with CNN, bolt said ako tayari

Gatlin has ran very many races with a good time and has the world leading time this year. I want Bolt to win but my head tells me at his current form, Gatlin is the man to beat.

Remember Yohan Blake had the fastest time in the year of London Olympics but was beaten by bolt in the main race. Bolt anapima watu akili. Before he retires in 2016, he said he thinks he will break the 2 W.Records

He can win yes but breaking the world record in Beijing will be a tall order. There comes a time in an athlete’s life where injuries slow you down.

Javelin men, 800m women, 1500m both, 3000m sc both 5000m both, 10000m women, marathon women. kenya will still shine. rivals nigel amos, aman, mo farah, dibaba and fellow ethiopians

5000 and 10,000 metres for women Kenya haiwezi toboa. There are several Ethiopians who are very good in those races.

Agreed.In Beijing he won’t but in Rio he may

What the hell happened in men’s marathon? :eek: Kimetto and Kipsang dropped out, the best Kenyan was position 22! Eisch!

Nonetheless, congrats to that 19-year old Eritrean. He’s the man to beat in the next couple of years.

ION, Bolt is a good runner but Gatlin has been fantastic this season. It will be a very classic race.

agreed, but i still see cherono 5000m, lets wait and see.

My best bet would be Kipyegon

she will be in 10000 with vivian cheruiyot, kenya will triumph

Hiyo ndiyo ngumu zaidi.

Mo wins it! Great team performance from the Kenyans though.
