Cheserek Fairly muscular for a Kenyan

Again, American means also having a muscular neck. I can't see that in Cheese Reck.

Are you kidding me? What does running have to do with a muscular neck? And why would women like men with a big neck? Seriously, someone needs to ban XFIT GUY.

Ummm...Lomong is NOT from Kenya.

Lomong is not a Kenyan you jerk.

and exactly where did the Kalenjin people emigrate from? oh yeah, what is now Sudan. The Cheserek and Lomong come from the same people.

That's like saying all Europeans are the same people, but I'm pretty sure there's a big difference from Italians to Swedes

By the same logic, British people and Portuguese Brazilians "come from the same people."

God, malmo.

Misplaced phony indignation, with a heaping dollop of ignorance on it.

No it isn't the same logic. It's like saying the Irish, British, French and Scandanavians are the same people.

The Kalenjin (which 90% of all Kenyan distance runners come from) are a nilotic tribe which migrated to the rift valley from what is now Sudan.

Not saying anything like that at all -- and you know it.

He is from New Jersey, not Kenya!

Seriously, why do so many Kenyans have puffy faces and not the gaut look of a white distance runner?

For chrissakes, thank you! He has spent far more time in the US than anywhere else. Born in Kenya, sure, but how much time has he actually spent there?

Thank goodness. I'd hate to be anything like one of those disgusting Italian Guidos.

so let me get this straight. Lomong is from Kenya?

Is Xfit guy the same person as Mr.Chest from a few years back?

The first 16 years of his life. So, uh... most of it?

Wikipedia is great for having BS arguments like this. It can turn someone with the intelligence of a tree stump into a know-it-all insufferable d*uche.

Why do people keep thinking where you are from matters? According to LR posters Kenyans are distance runners. Yet they are doing well in the 400, 800, and even javelin (sort of); which are hardly distance races. If you get your head out of your arse and work hard good things will happen, PERIOD. Talent doesn't flow through a stream or grow on trees or float through the air. If you are fairly naturally talented and work beyond hard and intelligently good things will come.

I take it wikipedia didn't have anything clever for you to say?

One doesn't need wikipedia to learn about the Kalenjin. Thousands of posts on Letsrun could keep you in the know. Try and keep up.
