Kenya proved that the sprints pedigree that got them to the medal podium in 1968 and 1972 Olympic Games is still alive.

When they joined 500 athletes from some 45 nations at the inaugural World Series in Bahamas two weeks ago, which offered USD1.4 million, they came third on the overall medal podium behind United States and Jamaica.
