	Naftali Temu
		Naftali Temu burst onto the international distance running scene at the 1966 Commonwealth Games in Kingston, where he recorded a significant victory over world-record holder Ron Clarke in the 6 miles event.
		However, Temu's efforts over the preceding week caught up with him just after 30km, and he lost contact, gradually slipping through the field to finish 19th.
		The athletic world lost an exceptional talent when Naftali Temu passed away on 10 March 2003, at the relatively early age of 57.

		Temu later joined the Kenya Army, but even there he lacked a past to boast of unlike his better known homebodies, notably Maiyoro Nyantika, who finished sixth in the 5,000 metres in the 1956 Olympic Games and Arere Anentia who was eliminated in the heats.
		Temu was taken ill at Nyangela Hospital in Kisii five months ago and was transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital on January 7 in serious conditions.
		Temu was supposed to have been honoured by Athletics Kenya on January 25 during the association's 50th anniversary when all pioneers were given plaques and cash token of Sh30,000.

		Temu became the country's first Olympic gold medallist in the 1968 Mexico City games when he led an African sweep in the men's 10,000m, defeating Ethiopia’s Mamo Wolde, - who would later in those Games win the Marathon - in a close sprint finish.
		Their times in the altitude of Mexico City were 29:27.4 and 29:28.0, and a distant sixth in the oxygen starved air was the World record holder Ron Clarke of Australia.
		Temu was admitted to the state-run Kenyatta National Hospital in January 2003 suffering from prostate cancer and had been unable to pay a 50,000 shilling (660 dollars) medical bill which the government waived.

	Naftali Temu
		Although he was never as universally recognised as his more illustrious compatriot Kipchoge Keino, Naftali Temu, like Keino, was a key contributor to the emergence of Kenya as a distance-running power in the late 1960s.
		In August 1964, at 19 years of age, Temu recorded a time of 28min 30.4sec in a 6 miles race at Kisumu, a performance which ranked him second on the world junior list that year, and which also gained him selection for the Olympic team to Tokyo two months later.
		With four laps remaining, Temu burst away from Clarke, quickly establishing a considerable gap, and went on to win easily in 27min 14.6sec, breaking the Games record by over a minute, and moving him to fourth on the all-time world list.
