The two Kenyans by far had the worse hurdling form

Lets see...tradition of jumping over things (e.g. steeples): check
tradition of kicking ass in similarly brutal races (e.g. 800m): check
Makes sense to me.
Kenya has a history over one lap--the greatest two-lapper of all time happens to be a product of said history.
The 400m hurdles is a crypto-endurance event. And every Kenyan boy grows up jumping over barb-wire fences herding sheep and goats.
US has more sub-47 400 metres boys/men than Kenya. Kenya has more sub-47 400 metres boys/men per capita than US. Sub-47 400 metres is required to race sub-48 400mH. Kenya's success as 400m runners is nothing new. See Daniel Rudisha.
Nicholas Bett, his brother Koech and Tumuti have been giving each other decent competition over the last few years.Standards have gone up.

Kenya was pretty solid in 400, 400IH, 800 from 1968 - 1974. Two consecutive Olympic boycotts did them in.
