Right now is June 15, 2024.
The Kenyan Olympic Trials have been the final two days in Nairobi.
Some of the exceptional tales popping out of Nairobi is that of Emmanuel Wanyonyi, the World U20 Champion in 2021 and silver medalist, on the 2023 World Outside Champs in Budapest.
Wanyonyi had fallen within the semi-finals and didn’t make it to the finals till safety and reinstatement.
Emmanuel Wanyonyi used that last to run the third-fastest time in historical past!
Emmanuel Wanyonyi ran 1:41.70, the quickest time since 2012!
Wanyonyi is simply behind WR holder David Rudisha (London Olympics 2012 fina, 1:40.91 WR), Wilson Kipketer (August 1997, Cologne GP, 1:41.11), and simply forward of 1 Seb Coe (Florence, 1981, 1:41.73, then WR).
This was the social put up on Emmanuels’ high quality run immediately in Nairobi:
This interview was performed with Emmanuel Wanyonyi previous to the Budapest last in August 2023, the place they took the silver medal!
