Charles Kamathi was sick at the Kenyan trials and fought bravely to finish 
13th. The Kenyan selectors still named him to the Kenyan team for Portugal.
But Charles wanted to make sure that the selectors would have no reason to
change their minds, so he boarded a plane for Italy to take on 5 time World Cross
Country Chanpion Paul Tergat for a third time this year. The outcome was a
third victory for Kamathi over Tergat. Surely now Kamathi will be a favoutite 
for the World Cross and of course the 31st Annual Ras na hEireann.
Maybe Paul Tergat might need another chance at Kamathi after the World Cross
and take the trip to dunleer!
