The team of Ezekiel Kemboi, Richard Mateelong and Brimin Kipruto hope for another show like the one they put on at the World Championships in Osaka where they took all the three top medals on offer.

The men's 3000 metres steeplechase is expected to be a Kenyan affair, where 2004 Olympic gold medallist, Kemboi, will attempt to become the first Kenyan steeplechaser to win consecutive titles at the Games.

"Apart from expecting a clean sweep of the medals in Beijing like in Osaka and Athens in 2004, I want to stay on course of retaining the gold," said the 26-year-old policeman.
