Samuel Wanjiru ready to tackle his first Olympic Games

Resting on a railing overlooking the 81 metres Thompson Falls in Nyahururu, some 190km east of the capital, Samuel Wanjiru gaze is firmly on the water and the spectacle around it.

"The speed of the falling water is constant," says Wanjiru who at age 21 is shaping up as a record breaking powerhouse.

Since setting a new World mark of 59:16 at the Half Marathon on 11 September 2005, Wanjiru, is still the second fastest half marathoner this year after posting  59:26 in Granollers, Spain, on 3 February - his sixth performance under one hour in his short but fruitful career.
