I am not sure if anyone has posted this yet but Cheruiyot and Kipchoge are the athletes of the year.
This year was quite tough for the selectors who had to leave out Conseslus Kipruto, Jemimah Sumgong, Faith Chepng'etich and probably even Rudisha.

It was also tough picking the best coach.

I still want to know if they're getting payments from Coca-Cola for that url. I bet a lot of Kenyan sites are giving them free advertising.

Cheruiyot did the best.

So happy Vivi finally got that elusive Olympic gold. I was rooting for her the most. Frustrating I can't find full video of that 5k anywhere.

Me too. Both of them deserved gold after having been on virtually every national team since their late teens.

Haile Gebrsellasie had a premonition that Ayana could lose the 5k.

I'm guessing you are geo-restricted, but maybe try this link with a proxy server?

I was able to find other youtube links, but you might see a geo-restriction issue.

The upset queen.

There were some great performances, but I don't think anyone equaled Kipchoge's London-Rio double, or Cheruiyot's upset.
