kip keino, an uncoached nandi tribesman, was already 28 years old when he made his second olympic appearance at the 1968 mexico city games. suffering from violent stomach pains caused by a gall bladder infection, keino entered the 10,000m. he was running with the leaders when, with two laps to go, he doubled up with pain and fell onto the infield. he jumped back up and finished the race, but he was disqualified for leaving the track.
four days later, he earned a silver medal in the 5,000m, trailing mohamed gammoudi of tunisia by barely a metre. in the 1,500m, keino tried to neutralize the finishing kick of the favourite, jim ryun, by building up a huge lead. his tactic worked and he won by 20m, the largest margin of victory in the history of the event.
in 1972, keino entered the steeplechase even though he had little experience in the event. still, he was able to outkick teammate ben jipcho and win another gold medal. six days after this victory, he added a silver medal in the 1,500m. keino and his wife, phyllis, eventually established a childrens' home and school for orphaned and abandoned children.

基普•凯诺于1940年出生于肯尼亚的南迪,他曾两次获得奥运会冠军,尽管取得优异成绩,但基普•凯诺并没有教练,他一直都是自己进行训练。凯诺28岁时忍着胆囊炎带来的巨痛参加了墨西哥奥运会。在10000米比赛中,凯诺一直处于领跑的位置,但在比赛还剩两圈时,他疼痛难忍,倒在跑道旁边的草地上,尽管他挣扎着起来跑完了全程,但因为他倒在了跑道的外边,按照比赛的规则,他的成绩被取消。四天后,他在5000米跑比赛中,以不到一米的劣势不敌突尼斯选手加穆迪,获得一枚银牌。在参加1500米比赛当 天,他的车由于交通堵塞无法准时到达会场,于是凯诺跑了1英里才抵达赛场,在1500米比赛中,他和美国人莱恩展开激烈争夺,在比赛一开始,凯诺就拉开距离,在前八百米的竞争中取得较大优势,并最终以20米的领先夺得冠军,将奥运会纪录提高了将近5秒,这一成绩直到1984年才被打破。在1972年慕尼黑奥运会上,凯诺参加了3000米障碍赛,并再次获得金牌,六天后,他在1500米跑中再夺一枚银牌。1973年凯诺退役,之后他和他的妻子在肯尼亚购买了一个农场,并开始领养孤儿,同时他也担任肯尼亚国家田径队教练。
