Does anyone know what is going on with Kaki this year? Injured? Retired ... ?
All I can find for him from this year is a 3:53 1500m from the Arab Games in Bahrain, from late April.
Last year he started out okay, with a fast-finishing 3rd in Eugene in late May (1:44.09), then another fast-finishing 2nd in Rome (1:44:57), got nipped at the line by Aman a few days later in Marrakech (1:45.61).
After that however, he was awful ... finishing last in both Paris (1:48.38) and Monaco (1:46.90) then not racing anymore to my knowledge.
I was a big fan of his when I started following track back in 2008 and he was the next great 800m runner; the prodigy. Then even after Rudisha arrived in 2010 it looked like they would have a great rivalry (beating Kaki 1:42.01 to 1:42.23 in Oslo that year).
I even thought he might end up a great 800/1500 combo runner after his 3:31.76 in Monaco in 2011.
Really taken together, his results from 2012-14 weren't promising and he hasn't been in the conversation for top 800m guys anymore ... makes me think there is a possibility he has just called it quits.
Any one have any info on him?
