	Runner's & Triathlete's Web Athletics: Wilson Kipketer - 'Thinking About The Small Things'
		After a remarkable decade-long span at the top of his event, 800 meter world record holder Wilson Kipketer sent a strong signal that he’s not yet ready to concede the one trophy missing from his otherwise stellar resume --that of Olympic champion.
		Exuberant after the race, Kipketer acknowledged that his win, coming in his first race in nine months against the finest field assembled this year, gave his confidence a boost as his Olympic campaign began.
		Kipketer has lived in Denmark since 1990 --he also owns in Monaco-- and was allowed to compete for his adopted country since 1995, but his entry to the 1996 Olympics, where he would have been an overwhelming favorite, was blocked by the Kenyan federation.
