At 7:35pm tonight at the Olympic Stadium in London which will be 9:35pm in Kenya, track superstar Vivian Cheruiyot will be waiting anxiously for the result of the 5,000m final.

Vivian stands out as the only Kenyan to have won 5,000m gold medals at the IAAF World Athletics Championships and questions linger on whether on-form Hellen Obiri, the Olympic 5,000m silver medalist, will become the second woman when called upon tonight.
