Kip Keino read the conditions of the 1968 Mexico City Olympics better than anyone. With a teammate pushing the early pace at altitude, he took the lead and ran the finishing kick out of the favourite, Jim Ryun, winning the 1500 m by a large margin despite a gallbladder problem. He added steeplechase gold in 1972 and inspired generations of Kenyan runners.
