But 75-years-old Ben Kogo, a member of the 1968 Olympics 4x400 metres silver medal winning quartet, was an exception. He arrived in a Great Rift shuttle from Eldoret when his anxiety and suspicion got the better of him on Monday when his air tickets failed to arrive on time. Amos Biwott, the 1968 Olympics 3000 metres steeplechase gold medallist at 19 had accompanied Kogo to the city. Like Kogo, waiting for the air tickets was too much for his like and so he took an overnight matatu from Nyamira. Patrick Sang, double Olympics 3000 metres steeplechase silver medallist was an exception.
