Eugene, USA - After Kenyan Naftali Temu won the Olympic 10,000m gold medal in the high altitude of Mexico City, till now no Kenyan has repeated the feat although the Kenyans have been succeeding in winning in many major competitions in getting gold medals in London and bring back Kenya's dignity in London. However, Kiprop feels that the feat is not easy as he feels that Ethiopians are very strong in the event.
