		The choice may have been unfortunate, as Kipruto had to settle for a bronze after pushing a brutal pace (sub-1:53 at 800m).
		In Athens he was part of a Kenyan sweep of the top four (!) places, as Kipruto and his teammates, Ezekiel Kemboi and Koech, began pushing the pace at the start of the second lap and dropped all but former compatriot Moses Kipchirchir (now Moussa Omar Obaid of Qatar).
		Kipruto’s given name is actually Firmin, but it was mistakenly transcribed by a clerk in 2001 when he was applying for a birth certificate so as to secure his first passport.

		Kipruto who came naturally to the sport enjoy telling the story of how he used to go to primary school and was advised to compete in the school championships.
		Kipruto came back in the spotlight as early as June 2004 as he took the 3000m Steeplechase win in the Hengelo meeting but despite setting a World leading time and new personal best of 8:05.52 (also meeting record) his outstanding performance was overshadowed by Kenenisa Bekele’s breathtaking World record at 10,000m that same evening.
		Kipruto was the revelation of the Steeplechase final in Nairobi and at only 19 years of age he finished a fantastic second (8:17.1) behind World silver medallist Ezekiel Kemboi (8:16.5), and so was automatically selected for the Olympics.
