not in the good old u.s.a . here we get a bunch of lrc posters to sit around and hope someone approaches cooper teare and talks him in to running the steeple.

"(Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba) says that the biggest concern for him especially has been Kenya’s loss on the grip of the steeplechase, a race traditionally known to be Kenya’s forte."
PS. Anyone that is about to criticize a govt for spending money on sports when there are much mroe pressing needs probably should be quiet given how much the US spends on stadiums for billionaires.
We need to tell them, pressing needs or not, steeplechase is plain silly with water puddles and all.

Many Kenyans talk about how little they hurdle in practice, seems like an easy way to improve. This article goes over it
They already improved the steeple by not doing that. Why would going over like a sprinter be better? It just gets your leg down faster at the cost of excess range of motion and thus energy.

Kenyans relate to the steeple because boys grow up jumping over hedges and barbed wire fences shepherding livestock as kids.

when\'s the last time they held the WR? wrote:
Last I heard, Qatar was the dominant country.
Kenyan athletics should focus on getting Kenyans to remain Kenyans
we certainly know that Qatar is the land of Jama Aden. What’s curious to me is why Charlie Grice recently moved there. Job? New training venue to reset? Can’t be easy to pick up everything and move there.

Now Kenya is visa free, thousands of Somalis are already migrating. In 20 years time, all the Kenyan team will be Mo Farah's.00 -
Worry about your own country.

El Bakkali is the most discreet runner on the planet. I spend days and weeks looking for informations about him but nothing comes through except for his rare TV interviews where he talks vaguely about his trainings. He is now the grand master of the steeplechase technique added to great potential (evolved with time and training) in middle distance races.
He train like a true professional (running is his unique job) while talking very few.
