		The photo of Paul Ereng, the man who inspired this headline, was splashed on the front page of the Daily Nation, with a wide grin and his outstretched arms hugging the air.
		Ereng's gold was sweeter in 1988, the first time since 1972 that Kenya was competing in the Olympics Games as a complete unit.
		Ereng and Billy Konchellah, another Nairobi-bred runner, created such a large following for their explosive 800 metres meetings in Nairobi that as many as 20,000 spectators used to turn up at the Nyayo National Stadium or MISC Kasarani to watch the two giants clash.

		Kenya's Paul Ereng, 1988 Olympic champion at 800m in Seoul and twice World Indoor champion (1989 and 1991), is now making an equally formidable name off the track, as a coach, and has established his own athletics squad: ‘Eldoret Track and Field’.

		As the 35-year-old Ereng says, “a man rearranges his priorities as life continues,” and Athletics is once more the main focus for Ereng.
