An interesting summation of long distance races in the summer of 77 which malmo has posted in letsrun a while ago.
22 Kenyan victories from five different athletes. Probably not complete.
What will be the reaction on this:
- long distance doesn't count (for sure Kenya has had also very good middle distance runners in all of the period 1964- 1979)
- pointing on the races they have not won (especially the ones featuring some special runner)
- mentioning a race from 1982
What will not come:
the agreeing to the fact that Kenyans have had enormous success ("success" for them) in this period
