Many Kenyans are hopeful and closing their fingers that this year, Kenyan athletes in the 10,000m will bring the gold back home. Being men on a mission, only they can fulfill. National athletics coach in an interview with the BBC upon arriving in London believes this is the year to break the long jinx.

Kenya last won the 10,000m gold at the 1968 Olympic Games through Naftali Temu.

Many are anticipating stiff competition from Somali born English athlete “Mo” Farah and Ethiopia’s Kenenisa Bekele, who will be looking to extend his third win in a row.
