DAILY NATION, Kenia - After the Boston and London marathons, the focus now turns on the selection of Kenya’s team to this year’s World Championships set for Berlin in August.Kenyan elite runners, who hoped to earn selection to the country’s marathon for the 12th IAAF World Championships in Berlin, had their last chance to impress selectors on the streets of Boston and London.
Several have shown their class including winners Samuel Wanjiru and Salina Kosgei, Catherine Ndereba, Daniel Rono, Robert Cheruiyot and Emmanuel Mutai.

Mzungo.org says: It´s gonna be really interesting to see who they pick. Wanjiru is aiming to battle down Geb´s WR in the Berlin Marathon so he´ll def give the Worlds a miss. Would be nice to see Lel, Cheruiyot, Mutai, Kwambai & Limo. Realisticly most of those guys will turn the Worlds down for the more spectacular and money raising WMM.
