	John Ngugi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		John Ngugi had produced a stunning victory in the 5000m at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, establishing an enormous lead over the field in the early stages which he never relinquished.
		Ngugi tripped and fell after only two laps of the race, and lost some 35 metres on the rest of the field, but he then got up and not only caught, but overtook the entire field within a lap.
		John proceeded to extend his lead over the field, establishing a gap of 30 metres at 4000m, which had widened to 40 metres at the bell.

	John Ngugi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Ngugi (born May 10, 1962) is a former Kenyan athlete, winner of 5000 m at the 1988 Summer Olympics.
		Ngugi established himshelf as a track runner when he won his heat of the 5000 m at the 1987 World Championships in Rome.
		In the final Ngugi took the lead during the second kilometre but despite his front running tactics, he was outsprinted in the finish, finishing in a disappointing twelfth place.

		Although John Ngugi achieved some notable achievements on the track in the latter part of his career, his earliest international successes came at the World Cross Country Championships, where he won a record four consecutive titles between 1986 and 1989.
		Despite his front running tactics, John was unable to establish a break on the field, and when the sprint for home started just before the bell, Ngugi was overwhelmed, dropping from 1st to 9th in the space of 200 metres, and he eventually faded to 12th place at the finish.
		Ngugi maintained this lead during the ensuing laps, and although his lead was reduced when the expected sprints came in the last lap, Ngugi still had enough left in the tank to lope through a final lap of 60.8sec to win by 30 metres (see photo above) in the year's fastest time of 13min 11.70sec.

		By winning in Belfast, Tergat equalled the great John Ngugi's five victories, even though Ngugi's are perhaps still the greater achievement as not only were they won first but he won his fifth title, three years after winning his fourth.
		Ngugi's victories were clocked in the "86-89" period with number five victory coming in the mud at Boston '92.
		As Boston, was won three years into a new decade, that of the 90s, it can be correctly argued that Ngugi won his titles over a period of two decades.

		When he appeared before the press this week Internal security minister John Njoroge Michuki looked agitated- or just annoyed by the pestering.
		By taking on the media he has entered into a virgin territory where he can hardly win the way he lost in 1979 when he attempted to dislodge John Joseph (JJ) Kamotho from the Kangema seat despite a high profile campaign.
		Although he managed to dislodge Kamotho on second attempt in 1983 following kamotho’s alleged association with the Charles Njonjo group - that was accused of planning a government take-over - Michuki may not be able to dislodge the media as one of the watchdogs of the Kibaki administration.
