Wilson Kipkemei Businenei (Uga) pulls off triple at WUG- 5,000m, 10000m, and 1/2 marathon

Wilson K. Busienei (Uga)

personal best

5000m..........13:12.03

10000m.........27:29.05

1/2Marahon......1:01:39

HOW many elite athletes do you think would be able to complete the triple and match or better Wilson Busienei performance times at 2005 WUG?

How soon will he completely annihilate all the WRs?

which Uni is he enrolled at or where does he study, please?

Bekele would be the first and obvious choice. Winning two world class races on back to back days, four years running, he would know a thing or two about that.

Beyond that, it's really hard to say since I don't know Businenei's competition. I know that in the 5k, he narrowly beat out Canada's Reid Coolsaet.

Probably one of the schools in Uganda - maybe Bugema since it's close to his home. The Ugandan federation is footing the bill for their top athletes to go to college.

In trainers.

one wonders whether a US college will snap him up, with a workload like that he would be a worthy points scorer

Yes and how soon before someone else comes along and completely annihilates all of Businenei's annihilations of the previously annihilated records?

LOL

It's a same you have to shift thru so many out work comedians to get to actually responses like MZUNGU, STRING THEORY, and INTEREST SAKE! To the poster's who tried to be funny-no I don't think he will break any records on the track.

Wilson Kipkemei Busineni is definitely world class but why would he attempt the triple with big cash Grand Prix races coming up? The times are fast enough that even if he runs a Grand Prix meet within the next week he won't be totally recovered from that triple. Did his federation ask him to complete the triple or is he planning a fall marathon and did it as sadastic training (if that was part of training-WHOA)- seriously does anyone know?

Sounds like the perfect road whore. He seems to be able to bounce back quickly. He could make a lot of money on the road cicuit if he has a winning quality kick

Why do you ask? Thinking of going to school in Uganda? I'll not hold my breath waiting for an answer.

Vipam,

Perhaps he has been denied entry into the Grand Prix finales.

Hmmmm...

Sounds like a typically ignorant statement from this board.

I suspect many of the 'contributers' to LetsRun.com would have difficult getting the grades to get into university in Uganda...... which has had institutions of tertiary education for over eighty years.

Herdsman, you will notice that I had actually answered the qiestion I posed, when mentioning

However, it seems as though UGX is may be looking for attention while the playstation is occupied.

That's probably because your posts are full of unintentional comedy, Vipam.

Herdsman,

sometimes it is good to let it slide. It is not even worth it- responding to each and every naysayer on this forum.

As someone once said, there are three things you cannot hide;

1. Poverty

2. Love

3. A cough

And to this, I can add a fourth one- Ignorance.

Forgive them father, for they knoweth not what they sayeth- Jesus Christ.

It's very interesting to see how a lot of people want to explain something without knowing.

Wilson Busienei (Kipkemei) is a very educated athlete of my group, training with me from 2003. He is a student in University, and his father is coach in the University. He's born in 1981, and is a guy with a level of intelligence higher than the range.

He comes from long run, in 2003 was with Ugandian Team in Vilamoura, for WHMCh. Last year, staying in Italy long time, I discovered that he could be fast. For example, I remember that we went in Chivasso (a small town near Torino where normally we go for track sessions) last May, before Hengelo meeting, with him, Martin Toroitich and Dorcus Inzikuru, and I planned for the 2 guys 10 times 1000m in 2:45 rec. 1:30. I told them "try to run fast the last one", and Wilson ran 2:28. In another training, he ran 1:23 in a final 600m. After this, he went to Hengelo running 27:29 in 10000 on track.

His problem is that he doesn't believe completely in himself. This year he had a very good training till 2 weeks before Helsinki, that had malaria (but was able to cure quickly), and in WCh was not very good but not so bad, out with 13:25 in 5000 after pacing for almost 2 km. Now he is in Italy in Torino, and will prepare WHMCh together with Nicholas Kemboi, Ahmed Hassan and Mubarak Shami (winner in Vienna Marathon).

Wilson will move to full Marathon from the end of this season, probably in Firenze, for running 2:12 before next year 2:09 in spring. Probably he will run that Marathon together with Malinga, other Ugandian no. 6 in Helsinki after improving his PB of more than 2:00 with 2:12:26.

The reason because he doesn't run Golden League is exactly what someone explained : with 13:12 and 27:29, if you are an African, is very difficult to be accepted.

Anyway, his choice for Marathon is not for money, but because he really has more chances for reaching a top level in the future.

On another thread, there was a flurry of letsrunner jealousy over the FISU games, with a lot of people suggesting that competitors from basically every country but the US are not really students. Interest Sake's comment, "which Uni is he enrolled at or where does he study, please?" pretty much fit in that vein, so I asked him to clarify, which he did.

I LIVE IN UGANDA AND HAVE ATTENDED MAKERERE UNIVERSITY. PLEASE DO NOT LECTURE ME ON THE SYSTEM HERE -- I HAVE PAID FOR IT AND SHOULD KNOW.

Dr. Renato,

Thank you for clarifying this to some readers (of this forum). It is exactly what we needed.

I have a question for you;

What do you think about the Kenyan situation- poor performance at Helsinki, WCCCh, and the Olympics?

Kiplagat, AK chairman, blames the coaches and foreign agents. He fires the coaches, then turns around and says he never did.

Some people blame AK. Others even blame the athletes e.g. Yobes Ondieki. Some have asked for foreign coaches, others want the coaches to be taken back to school e.t.c. Nobody seems to even know what the problem is.

I just wanted to hear your personal view.

In your view, what ails Kenya? Is it AK, poor coaching, athletes' motivation or something else?

I say this because looking at the Ethiopians, and especially the women, when they are in a race, they have a sense of purpose. They look busy and above all, they seem to have a running plan. They dictate the race, the pace and they are very strong physically and even mentally.

All considered, do you think the Kenyans are getting the right coaching? I know you have stated elsewhere that KEnyans are usually 'destroyed' in the training camps-Kigali, Kasarani and elsewhere and while we are still at this, what happened to Isaac Songok? He is not only struggling, he looks bad.

I just wanted to hear your insight and what you'd recommend.

Thanks.
