Kenia

For runners the first link we make with Kenia is that of the amazing runnners comming from this country. However in the recent weeks Kenia hits the news with violence that followed the elections.
On the Dutch site 'Losse Veter' (loose lace) there are e few articles on the situation.

1. A reaction of Feliz Limo ‘Yes it is bad here'alltough he said he still feels save at his home in Eldoret (the town were the church was burned down killing 30 people). He currently in training for the London marathon and plans a run end january to test his shape.
2. Some of the guests from the training centre in Iten run by Lornah Kiplagat and her partner are evacuated.
3. Lucas Sang, one time 4x400m olympic participant (Seoul 1988) was killed near his house near Eldoret.

Lets hope that the situation will calm down and that Kenia will be in the news again for the results of their very impressive runners.
