	Kip Keino
		Although still very inexperienced, Keino qualified for the Kenyan team to the 1972 Munich Olympic Games in the steeplechase, as well as in the 1500m, the event in which he was the defending Olympic champion.
		Keino had only run in four serious steeplechases before he came to Munich, and had won only one of them, and twenty-three of the entrants at Munich had faster personal bests than his 8min 30.4sec.
		Keino was more favoured to win the 1500m final held six days later, especially in the absence of his old foe and World Record holder, Jim Ryun (USA) who had fallen in his heat and been eliminated.

		Keino, a police inspector in Kenya when he wasn’t training, burst upon the international scene in 1965 by setting world records in the 3,000 and 5,000 meters, and running an impressive mile time of 3:54 at a race in London.
		Keino followed this performance in Mexico City with another two-medal effort in the 1972 Munich Olympics -- winning a gold in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (an event in which he was admittedly a novice) and a silver in the 1,500 meters.
		Keino’s win in the steeplechace was a surprise -- he could outrun his competitors in the flats but he had little to no experience in approaching the obstacles.
