Kipchoge Keino

Athletics and the Olympic movement, Kenya. Keino won Olympic 1,500 metres gold in 1968 and steeplechase gold in 1972, opening the way for Kenya's distance-running tradition. He chaired the Kenyan Olympic Committee for nearly two decades until 2017 and sat on the IOC, though his time in charge ended amid an investigation into the handling of Kenya's team at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
