At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Kenya shone with Wilson Kipketer’s gold in the 800 meters, and in 2004 Athens, the country celebrated with the outstanding performances of Eliud Kipchoge and the men’s 4×400 meters relay team. The 2008 Beijing Olympics saw Kenya’s dominance in distance running, highlighted by the gold medal wins of Pamela Jelimo in the 800 meters and the continued brilliance of athletes like Kipchoge.
