Sorry but even for second tier, this Kenyan team is pathetic.
It seems like the only event that Kenya did not send a C-team is the men's 1500. Everything else is pretty underwhelming. Seems like both the athletes and the federation don't care a lick.

Kenyans need cash. Why waste time competing in a meet that is a tribute to their former colonial masters?
Michelle-Lee Ahye beats the Jamaicans to the Gold medal in the 100m and she's ecstatic!

No sport sold out tickets in Rio. The crowds showed up for the worlds in London.
Maybe it's just laziness, but I don't know if this Gold Coast is a city, region, area or just a beach. Never heard of it. Brisbane is the big city in Queensland.
Injury suffered indoors rules out the Scottish guy; the other home nations just don't have any top class track men now that Farah has left the track racing scene.
But to someone who remembers the epic Commonwealth 5K of 1970, Keino versus Steweat and MacAfferty, and 1974, Foster versus Jipocho, this was a miserable pathetic affair.

It's the second biggest City in QLD.
Why would anyone take part in an event that celebrates the own opressor? Only if you have No shame at all

How about the Kenyans are no good anymore. Period. They don't have any solid 5000 runners anymore and continually get trounced in international competition in that and the 10000.
BS. They brought their "A" team in the 800 and the 1500.

George Manangoi, Elijah's 17-year-old baby brother, missed out on the team by a whisker. Reigning youth champ, Kumari Taki, barely beat him for the third spot.

No David Rudisha, Emmanuel Korir, Kipyegon Bett, or Michael Saruni for the 800m. The 10,000m A team would consist of Kam, Karoki and a kid named Rodgers Kwemoi.
Akani Simbine wins Gold in a 1-2 for South Africa in the men's 100m final. Yohan Blake chokes as usual.

Commentator plain calling bronze medalist Johan Blake, "fat". Must have lost money on him.

They brought Kitilit & Kimyamal. They are >>Bett & Saruni. Kinyamal was faster than Bett last year and Saruni is not a world class runner yet. I don't think Rudisha is a factor anymore either. The only one thing they could have done to improve the team is to include Korir instead of some unknown.

Kitilit and Kimyamal have never made a Kenyan team to a global championships. And they're not better than 19-year-old Bett (where did you get that?). Bett was probably the most consistently good 800m runner in the world, last year.

Except the men's football. And men's half-arsed part U23 football tournament that the majority of the world's biggest name won't go near, has to be the most pointless thing at the Olympics.

Who knows why they haven't made it to a global champs (neither did Saruni), but
Kinyamal ran 1:43.94 last year. Only one faster was Korir. So he was the 2ND fastest Kenyan in 2017!!!
Kitilit ran 1:43.03 the year before that. Rudisha was faster then. He was the 3RD fastest Kenyan in 2016!!
So all of the best distance athletes from Great Britain seem to be from Scotland. What's going on up there? Is there something in the water? Impressive for a country with 5-6 million people.

I recall Bett making the final in the world champs last year and barely edging out 20 year old Langford for bronze.
Langford is running in the CWG, so let's see if the Kenyans can beat him there. I say Langford for GOLD!!
