The Secret of the Kenyan Runners

Barbara Gräftner

Solomon Boit and Rhonex Kipruto are about to finish school and take their first steps in their professional running carrier. Together with the professional marathon runner Nancy Kiprop, aged 39, they have one thing in common: they were coached by the Irish missionary brother Colm O’Connell. He is somehow the godfather of Kenyan running; countless worldclass athletes started from his teaching ground. While the young athletes are focussing on their first junior worldchampionship in Tampere (Finnland), Nancy aims at her 3rd victory in the Vienna City Marathon.
