Kipchoge ("Kip") Keino was among the first in a long lineage of successful middle and long distance runners to come from Kenya and has helped and inspired many of his fellow countrymen and women to become the athletics force that they are today. Keino, 66, is a Two-Time Olympic Gold Medallist winning the 1,500m at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico and then the 3,000m steeplechase four years later in Munich.
