PS. Anyone that is about to criticize a govt for spending money on sports when there are much mroe pressing needs probably should be quiet given how much the US spends on stadiums for billionaires.
They should be spending that money tackling the doping epidemic in their country right now. Or tackling the poverty that dopers are using as an excuse for their cheating. Are they not embarrassed that dozens of their athletes are getting banned every month for doping? The land of dopers, a laughing stock of the athletic world.

Well, if dozens of their athletes are getting banned every month, it means they are actually « tackling the doping epidemic ».

Yes, I hope that isn't coming out of the millions World Athletics gave them to tackle doping. Wouldn't surprise me. Still no word about the 50+ runners that were busted and supposed to be named at the end of last month.
this funding will go a long way to putting Kenya back on top. Compare to the US where we have cities of more than half a million with only 1 public track, if any. How many elite groups are training in the US - maybe 10-15 with a generous definition of elite.
A Kenyan court on Thursday sentenced a former sports minister to six years in prison after finding him guilty over the siphoning of funds meant for athletes in the Brazil Olympics five years ago.
Men’s side I guess? A lot of hope in what they saw in Simon Koech, but really the problem here is that Girma is probably the fastest 3,000m runner (along with Shaheen) ever to do steeple outside of Shaheen. El B is the best shifter/fast hurdler ever besides C Kipruto and Kemboi. So they need Koech to split the difference. His hurdling is already better than Girma’s, and we’ll see if he can become as speedy shifting gears and hurdling as El B. He had stomach issues at Worlds, I have no doubt he would’ve been in a clear 3rd if not.

Not to mention the Titan that was supposed to fall.
Content with "winning" the overall medal count and certain marquee events at recent world and Olympic track competitions, USATF announces a commitment of effing jack squat to bolster American distance fortunes.

While that sounds logical, they only catch tier II athletes for some reason. The AIU busts prove that their top athletes are also doping but somehow not getting caught by ADAK.
Step 1: Be government official Step 2: Have friends Step 3: Find an issue of "national concern" that can be solved by government spending Step 4: Make sure your friends win tenders and receive subsequent transfers Step 5: Deliver low spec product for the full spec price Step 6: Embezzle... excuse me. Pateks with gold bezels for the rest of the money.
Everyone prepares for the steeplechase in their own way, from the Olympic champion who claims he never practices hurdling to Evan Jager, who works on his hurdle form every week. LetsRun.com consulted the experts to explore th...
Maybe they should spend that $ on roads and schools.
Watched the Youtube video/documentary on Weslee Kiptoo. He is lucky to be blessed with genetic talent to escape the misery. He said His father had 4 wives and 11 or 12 children. None of them were employed. In the meantime, Ethiopia defaulted on their sovereign debt.
