Kenya are not exactly doing great given distance running is the only thing (out of absolutely everything) that they're good at.

Besides tribal violence and corruption of course.

No. We're definitely doing better than not-so-great Britain. Better than racism, bad food and disgusting, filthy hotels poisoning athletes.

Yes. I agree Kenya are doing better.

It's a bit sad that Kenya is good at one small part of one sport, and they're only there because the IAAF have let them cheat for decades.

57 elite Kenyans under investigation for being filthy cheats. How's the parenting in Kenya? Why do so many of these people cheat without a second thought?

Embarrassing for a country with such resources. All that lottery money could only come up with Somali import Farah. No choice but to go the way of Bahrain, Qatar and Turkey.

GB have been doing that before Qatar and co, with Somali, Nigerian and Carribean athletes representing GB.

West African & Carribean athletes have been representing GB since the early seventies = Ainsley Bennett??????????

What is he? Irish?

You are truly an idiot.

Farah was not imported. He was not recruited from abroad and paid money to compete for the UK like Turkish Kenyans.

He was just an 8 year old boy who moved here for a better life. Then he grew up, took up running, and decided to compete for GB.

Dark times for British athletics. What is going to happen when America surpasses them in Soccer.

As usual the British are only best at commentating.

that was 1950.

The good news is that we are currently 6th in a new points table the BBC just cobbled together to make us look better. :-)

Where is Andy Vernon? Is he too busy tweeting about Mo to show up and run with him?

Not a well-founded comment. Vernon qualified for the 5000m final, finishing next to Chelimo in his heat.

Oops. I automatically read it as Butchart. My bad. Never mind. I don't know or care where Andy Vernon is,

And I thought all the Ugali and vegetables that made Kenyan's so fast would work for me. darn! I'm going back to eating 1/2 lb bacon double cheese burgers to get my next PR.

UK should spend their funding wisely, especially now after brexit, no need to spend millions on fourth place finishers.

I didn't see any Brits forget to take the water jump. Kenya will never live that down! Ooops!
