  Julius Kariuki - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Julius Kariuki (born June 12, 1961) was the winner of the 3000 m steeplechase at the 1988 Summer Olympics.
At the Seoul Olympics, Kariuki was mostly considered as the third-string Kenyan runner, but in the final, after a very fast start, Kariuki and his fellow countryman Peter Koech broke clear, and a lap later, Kariuki sped away from his more experienced teammate, and went on to win the gold medal.
Kariuki remained one of the world's top steeplechasers for several more years after that, but the dominance of Kenyan talent was so great, that he was never able again to gain representation on the national team to a major international championship.

 Julius Kariuki
Julius Kariuki had just been another member of Kenya's all-conquering steeplechasing stable before he emerged in 1988 to win the Olympic gold medal in Seoul.
Kariuki continued this world-class form into 1989, winning the steeplechase at the Bislett Games in Oslo (see photo above) on 1 July in 8min 14.39sec, and then recording his season's fastest time of 8min 12.18sec when he won at Koblenz on 23 August.
During the European season, Kariuki recorded a number of significant victories at Grand Prix events, and finished the season with the highest Grand Prix points tally in the steeplechase ahead of compatriot Patrick Sang.

 Julius Kariuki
Julius made tremendous progress during 1984, first gaining selection in the Kenyan Olympic team, and then finishing 7th in the steeplechase at the Los Angeles Olympic Games.
Kariuki took a break from the steeplechase in 1987 to work on his speed on the track.
This form gained Kariuki a place on the Kenyan Olympic team to compete in Seoul, although he was very much looked upon as the third-string Kenyan runner, as compatriots Peter Koech and Patrick Sang had recorded the fastest two times for the year prior to the Olympics.
