1,500m: Silas Kiplagat, Asbel Kiprop, Nixon Chepseba, Bethwell Birgen;

3,000m SC: Conseslus Kipruto, Abel Kiprop Mutai, Ezekiel Kemboi, Paul Kipsiele Koech;

5,000m: Isaiah Kiplangat Koech, Thomas Pkemei Longosiwa, Edwin Cheruiyot Soi, John Kipkoech;

10,000m: Bedan Karoki, Paul Kipngetich Tanui, Kenneth Kiprop Kipkemoi;

Marathon: Mike Kipyego, Bernard Kipyego, Peter Some, Nicholas Kipkemboi;

Javelin: Julius Yego.

Where is the rest of the list. Who is running the 100 meter? Pole vaulting? Shot putters?

What happen to Pamela Jalimo? Is she racing?

Sally Chepyego is also based in Japan and runs for the same team, Kyudenko, as Paul Tanui. With regard to Karoki having relocated to Kenya, it's pretty normal for Africans here to go back home between Japanese seasons. I don't think the article saying Karoki had relocated meant on a permanent basis, especially as he just signed with a new sponsor here in April.

Thanks for info. Lots of new faces in this team. If I was the team's tactician, I would get Paul Kipsiele to set a blistering pace from the onset, to pace his teammates to a sub 8 time. That strategy would also give him the best chance at getting in the medal brackets because in a slow pace he always gets outkicked. Hopefully he can get his sub 8 form in the remaining days before the champs. I am not conversant with the wildcard rule for diamond league winners. It looks like Kenya was granted only one place(Isiah Koech in 5000m). How many diamond league wild cards can a country claim?

I think it is good that Brimin Kipruto is NOT on the team.

I don't understand why the second fastest man in the discipline would run in a pack and then, put himself in a position to get tripped with two laps to go.

Koech will NEVER do that because he loves pushing the pace. That is what we need.

Exactly my thoughts. I posted my thoughts before I read your post.

Koech could sneak in for the bronze or fourth at worst.

Why isn't Dennis Kimetto on the marathon team? Is he injured? Did he choose to run a fall major?

who the hell are these chumps ???

sounds like they just pulled some cab-drivers outta their taxis outside nairobi airport & stuck them in the team ???!!!

Lydiah Chepkurui is also in the team in the womens steeplechase.

They announced 4 in that event (Chemos has wildcard).

She was 4th and they picked top 4!

Some bizarre decisions in other events with selections ( Choge and brimin out)

Also some athletes who were on the start lists were barredfrom competing - most notably Joyce Chepkurui in 10000m

26,51 guy Emanuel Bett not on the 10000 team?

Seems they're not even trying there any more...
