And who told you that the disappointment matters! Kenya has an already established name in marathons across the board!!
Marathoning is not only about Olympics!
You should take stock of Kenya's marathon performances on other fronts apart from Olympics!
Kenya _ The home and source of marathon world beaters and champions!!

Well, according to the LRC poll, 22% pick him to win, 42% to medal.
Personally, I think it might not be one of the favorites. The course is so brutal that it's totally a crapshoot.

Sad to see he did not make it to the start. In my opinion he was the favourite for the gold medal. Tamirat Tola will take his place.
I have a feeling the world's best marathoners won't win on this brutal course. It will be a surprise winner
Children Children don't make me put you in time out...
The winner will be a totally unexpected runner like the Japanese runner who won Boston a few years back in the horrendous weather conditions

All three Ethiopian men DNF'd in Tokyo 2021.
They held a 21 mile race (35k) in either May or June to pick the team
kipchoge hands down
Both legends will make the pace and bonk on the big climb. I would not be surprised if they both DNF.

Seems you know so much about Kenyan athletics.
Just sit down and enjoy the games.
Leave Kenyan athletics to Kenyans 😄
Just as I said. They should have selected Chebet.
