Kenya selected a team of 47 athletes for the 15th IAAF World Athletics Championships set for Beijing from August 22 to 30. The selections came after a two-day riveting action that was marked with bruised egos and realised dreams as some Olympic and world champions saw their dreams go up in smoke.
Six athletes — Asbel Kiprop (1,500m), Ezekiel Kemboi and Brimin Kipruto (3,000m steeplechase), Viola Kibiwott, Janeth Jepkosgei (800m) and Edwin Soi (5,000m) — return to Birds Nest Stadium in Beijing where they competed at the 2008 Olympics.
