Kenya to shrug off London disappointment in Rio

ELDORET, Kenya, Head coach Julius Kirwa would not hazard a guess how many medals Kenyan athletes will win at next month's Rio Olympics but is confident the nation, renowned for its distance runners, can shrugg off the disappointment of London Games four years ago.

Kirwa had predicted 12 gold medals at London but Kenya finished a poor 28th in the Games, with 11 medals that included two gold, four silver and five bronze medals.
