Kenya does have two Japan-based athletes as alternates who are good including Mburu who has Worlds silver on his resume, could be quite good in the humidity, and is back to his best it seems. This would be a bummer as Kurgat was champ at their trials and Ewoi was set for her first global competition repping Kenya.

Damn. I had Kurgat as my dark horse and I wanted to at least see him do well as a former NCAA runner who's been on a tear recently. I hope he can make it last minute.

Yes, let’s hope. He was able to get through to Paris. I wonder if Ewoi had this same problem for World Indoors this year because I believe she was selected for that and didn’t show.

Looks like Kurgat at the airport with Julius Yego a couple days ago. Presumably part of the contingent flying to Amsterdam then Tokyo. I'd like to think he'd only be at the airport if he had everything sorted to get all the way to Tokyo. Hopefully he does. Not sure about Ewoi who I assume is traveling from the US
