What has happened to Cosmas Ndeti since his great run of BAA Marathons? Between 1993,1st 2:09; 94,1st 2:07; 95, 1st 2:09 & 1996, 3rd 2:09, Cosmas Ndeti was the Man in Boston. His 2:07:15 from 1994 is still #2 on the All-time list. I wondered what happened to this great champion now that Boston is rolling around again.
He was born in '71, so he'd be 36. You can't run great forever.
Not to mention his victories were all negative splits. Amazing.
If I remember correctly, he dropped out in '96 because he couldn't keep up with the leaders. If I remember right, he got slammed in the press afterward because he said he dropped out because he didn't want to run a girl's time.
Cosmas is well and healthy and doing a little coaching.I talk to him often and keep trying to get him to make a come back and get a program going.Your right he turned 36 in nov.His son boston is 14,daughter sarifina 13,and his son joseph who was named after the hospital he was born in here in albuquerque new mexico where i live and coach.I was with cosmas and jane his wife during the delivery of joseph.I asked him if i could get a sponsor for your come back,would you seriously go for it again.He said YES.I have been looking into this.Any thoughts on this are welcome.I can tell you one thing for sure he can come back with the current crowd of athletes and suprise a lot of people.Why do i no this?because i advised him and no him well.
Who is that(#8), and what race is it?

I hope you were not his English coach.
Don't be an ass. That block of text has a few errors but is entirely comprehensible.

That # 8 would be Maluni John, KEN, 2007 Belgrade winner in 02:11:53.
Cosmas did not drop out in 96, he ran 2:09 after leading and pushing the pace much of the way. Great to hear is doing well. He is one of my all time favorite Runners.

Wow, a language expert. I'm impressed. Reading forums must be very painful for you. Lighten up.
I hope you were not his English coach.
