	Ezekiel Kemboi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ezekiel Kemboi Cheboi (born May 25, 1982) is a Kenyan athlete, winner of 3000 m steeplechase at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
		Born in Matira, Kenya, Ezekiel Kemboi didn't take up athletics until after he left school and won the African Junior Championships in 2001 in spite of falling.
		In 2002, Kemboi finished second at the Commonwealth Games and was originally fourth at the African Championships, but was later awarded bronze after the winner Moroccan Brahim Boulami received a doping suspension.

		Kemboi who is preparing for the final national trials for the Helsinki World Championships in a bid to book a ticket and meet Qatar's Saif Saaeed Shaheen in the water jumps and hurdles events opted for the 1500m.
		The Kenya sport governing body will give Kemboi a bye for the nationals three weeks from now but he is still welcome to compete in a distance of his choice as part of his World Championships preparation.
		This, Kemboi said was welcome because his most important worry at the moment was on how to improve on his speed.

		Kemboi finished in a lowly eighth position (7:56.8) in the flat 3000m - a race won by former world youth 1500m champion Isaac Songok in 7 minutes, 46.6 seconds.
		Kemboi has not competed since winning the gold medal at the Athens Olympics last August.
		Choge, who outpaced a quality field that include Ezekiel Kemboi, Isaac Songok and former world 4km cross country champion, Benjamin Limo to win the men's 1500m at the fifth Athletics Kenya weekend meeting in Nakuru last week, said he would henceforth run the 5000m.

		In many eyes, Kemboi’s was a hollow victory in Athens last August when Shaheen was kept from the competition because of his change of allegiance to Qatar.
		Yet Despite their lopsided rivalry, Kemboi doesn’t think less of his victory at Olympic Stadium, but does admit that he missed his long-time friend in the race.
		Kemboi trains at the Kip Keino Training Center in Eldoret, logging 20 to 30 kilometers a day prior to the season, and has now cut that back to twice daily sessions totaling about 150 kilometers per week.

		Kisumu, Kenya - Ezekiel Kemboi, the 3000m steeplechase silver medallist at last year's World Championships, is determined to win in Athens after his close defeat by Saif Saaeed Shaheen of Qatar in the Stade de France, in what many believe to have been the greatest Steeplechase encounter of all-time.
		Having put that defeat behind him at Saint Denis, Kemboi has embarked on a training regime to improve his speed which was eventually found wanting against Shaheen, formerly Stephen Cherono, who also beat him for the gold in Manchester Commonwealth Games three years ago.
		Despite high humidity and a bumpy murram track, Kemboi found the right pace and final burst of energy to crest the tape in 3:40.8 after he overhauled Micheal Ndhiwa (3:41.1) and Vickson Pololonet (3:41.3) who had put up a brave fight.

		Ezekiel Kemboi had an easier task ahead of him, as the previous 3000m Steeplechase Event Ranking leader Saif Saaeed Shaheen dropped out of the Event Ranking for not having enough competitions over the past 365 days.
		Therefore Kemboi’s win in Paris with 8:09.14 (1390 points) was enough to lift the Kenyan from 3rd place into 1st.
		Kemboi’s compatriot Julius Nyamu and Kipkurui Misoi also moved up three places to 4th and 5th respectively in the Event Ranking, after finishing 6th (8:15.29 — 1292 points) and 3rd (8:10.02 — 1346 points) at the Paris TDK Golden League meeting.

	Steeplechaser Kemboi lights up Kenyan championships
		While some of the big stars decided to skip the national championships and compete in the lucrative Grand Prix races in Europe, those who have opted to return and train at home gave a good account of themselves during the three-day championships.
		Kemboi, 22, after winning four of the six European Grand Prix races he has competed in, returned home to compete in the nationals and became one of five runners to share the one million shilling (13,500 dollar) jackpot.
		Kemboi will likely face the former world record holder, Bernard Barmasai, who opted out of the championships to concentrate on his comeback trail for the trials, and Abraham Cherono, who finished second in the race.

		Kemboi had said last week he would break the world record, to which Shaheen replied the Kenyan had no chance, given his performances lately.
		He dismissed Kemboi’s bid as "just but hot air and wishful thinking," adding he did not have what it takes to break the record.
		In any case, Kemboi claimed they have just been ‘lenient’ to allow Shaheen enjoy his tenure as a record holder, otherwise they would have broken it long time ago.

	Kemboi leads Kenyan 1-2-3 in steeplechase
		Ezekiel Kemboi led home a jubilant Kenyan 1-2-3 in the men's Olympic 3,000 metres steeplechase final on Tuesday.
		The victory was especially sweet for the Kenyans because of the ill feeling created by the defection to Qatar of several of their top runners.
		Kemboi finished second at last year's world championships in Paris to Qatar's world champion Saif Saeed Shaheen, formerly Kenyan Stephen Cherono, who switched to represent the Gulf State on a lucrative contract.

		Kemboi, who was so critical of Shaheen's switch till the other day, took it philosophically.
		This was a race worth waiting for, reminiscent of the great duel between Haile Gebrselassie and Kenyan Paul Tergat on the finishing straight in the 10,000 metres at the Sydney Olympics.
		The 8:04.39 to 8::05.11 timings might give a slightly misleading picture, but that was only because Kemboi could not have drawn from his lungs any more after having put everything he had over the last water jump to the last hurdle to be a fraction ahead, though momentarily.

		Kemboi, who cruised to the Olympic title with Shaheen absent, said he wasn't disappointed with his runner-up finish.

		Thankfully for the proud African nation their great rivals at major global championships are not here and they duly swept the 3 000 metres men's steeplechase led by Olympic champion Ezekiel Kemboi, Isabella Ochichi won the women's 5 000 metres and a bronze to boot for 10 000 metre champion Lucy Wangui.
		Perhaps most significant of all Janeth Jepkosgei captured the 800 metres leaving the legendary Mozambique athlete Maria Mutola without a reigning outdoor crown, as her hopes of a third successive title were dashed and her reign ended just as it had been in the 2004 Olympics and last year's world championships.
		Kemboi also pledged that he would be honing in on other targets later in the year.

		In the end, Ezekiel Kemboi lost to Qatari Saif Saaeed Shaheen, formerly Stephen Cherono, the best of the year with the five fastest times of the year out of eight starts.
		A tired Kemboi could not even lift his hands to pick the Kenya flag for a lap of honour.
		The race was hailed as the best ever steeplechase at either the Olympics and the world championships and what used to be a Kenyan affair was now seen as having the potential of becoming the most exciting race in the years to come.

		Over the last 800 metres, Shaheen and Kemboi accelerated again and the race was decided on a sprint finish in which Qatar's new acquisition proved the stronger.
		Maria Mutola, supreme over the women's 800 metres for the past decade, looked briefly vulnerable in the finishing straight after her training partner Kelly Holmes kicked on the final bend.
