Once in a while, Kenya produces a 1500 metres runner who takes the world by storm. It has been an eight-year-long search for an heir to Noah Ng’eny, who won a gold at the 2000 Sydney Games.

Ng’eny faded out of the limelight in part due to injury. All eyes are now on All Africa Games champion Asbel Kiprop, Commonwealth Games 5,000m gold medallist Augustine Choge and new sensation Nicholas Kemboi.
