When I Was A Little Boy, I

I Love My Tribe, The Maasai Are Very Good People And Humble.

When I Was A Little Boy, I Always Wanted To Run. I Loved Competing With My Friends.

Already In 2007 I Thought I Would Be Able To Break The World Record In The Near Future. That Time Sammy Tangui Was The Pacemaker In Lausanne. I Liked The Way He Was Running. He Is Tall, He Has A Strong Body And His Stride Is Similar To Mine. I Told Him In One Of The Coming Years I Would Need Him When I Try To Break The World Record.

I Was Ready In 2008 For The Olympic Games But Unfortunately I Missed The Kenyan Trials With A Thigh Injury. I Watched Those Olympics But It Was Tough To Watch. But It Was Good In The End Because A Kenyan, Wilfred Bungei, Was The Champion.

My Father's Encouragement Is What Has Brought Me This Far, Because When I Grew Up I Wanted To Be Like Him, And I Knew I Had That Ability To Become An Athlete. Being An Olympian Is One Of The Greatest Things, And Being An Olympic Gold Medallist Is One Of The Most Prestigious Titles In The World.
