Most Kenyans you come across are usually humble and shy away from making any brash predictions or statements (maybe a cultural thing). Rather they stick to their plan and train hard, speak less.
Ngatuny's statements about winning world xc's IF he hadn't been spiked,also making it clear to everyone that he is going for it all at Osaka made me think...were there any kenyans from the past that had this kind of attitude?
Saif Shaheed Shaheen (sp?) comes to mind.
"I feared nobody" - Ngatuny. Last time I heard an American say anything close to this was Gabe Jennings during a post-race interview where he failed to qualify to the next round (of an International Athletics competition).
