you don't seem to know a lot about kenyan politics
the Big-Man isn't from a big tribe & has no great support in the fed
last year he had to make desperate finish to take 3rd in olympic trials knowing that if he got 4th he wasn't going to get any favors like Kamwo in 10k & woud be out of the 800 in rio
i think it is actually likely that rotich who is from a bigger tribe is going to get the wildcard & Big-Man won't go to london making team Korir/bett/saruni/rotich
the fed will justify it on Big-Man not having run fast this year
it will all come down to who has fastest 800sb by deadline
if it's rotich, fed will justify it by saying he has the quickest sb
the only chance Big-Man has got is to go run a 1'43+ in next coupla weeks or he's out !!!
Bump

serious chance Big-Man will be out
my feeling is they will get the 3 contendas for 2 places, Big-Man, fergie & saruni to either :
1) race each other in 3 man field in training & top-2 go
2) get all 3 to run an individual TT & 2 quickest go
either way, Big-Man coud be out !!!
