Mary Keitany and Daniel Wanjiru's spectacular performance at the London Marathon Sunday speaks volumes of Kenya's athletics prowess. Keitany's 2:17.01 record lowered Paula Radcliffe's 2:17.18 women only record with a display that shows she can go for the absolute record of 2:15.25.

Their conquest of London comes hot on the heels of another superlative performance by Geoffrey Kirui and Edna Kiplagat in Boston, USA. Eliud Kipchoge, too, capped Kenya's dominance of man's most daunting race, the 42km race, for being the overall winner of the World Marathon Majors that takes place in major capitals around the world.
