Take a look at his technique and form, it was just beautiful. Also see the final of the 1996 Olympics, it was a lesson in how to run the steeplechase. When he was young, he would run from home to school an hour and a half and then back home again for another an hour and a half. Now (2020) he is long forgotten but to me he is one of the greatest. He was just ahead of his time.
The most beautiful running teqnique ever. Sadly many have forgotten him today just like they forgotten Nourredine Morceli. But at least Kiptanui was the first man breaking the 8min barrier, and no one can take that away from him.

Yes, agree. I remember this at the time. He was one of those runners you could really enjoy watching.
He’s not forgotten in Kenya 🇰🇪
THIS FANTASTIC legend will never be forgotten!!!!!!!!!
At the end he acted like he’d just performed a magic trick. He had!
Fantastic record congratulations 👏 in 2022
That was a mind boggling pace then.
Legend.
The depth of Kenya steeplechasers is on another level.
Kiptanui the myth the legend 🇰🇪💪
Moses Kiptanui, the maximum Zen Master of the steeplechase
just amazing,did all by himself,without the help of pacemakers.
I sometimes get him confused with Moses Tanui, who was the first man to break the 1hr barrier in the Half-Marathon
Followed by Gebs 12:44 In the 5,ooo.
Legend
Surprised there isn’t more comments
When world records were real and hard earned.
캬 추억돋네요
처음부터 해주는 영상은 없나..
Magical kenya
breaking the Minute barrier
I love the way Moses Kiptanui has always looked as if he was in his 50s 🤣 These days, he actually is.
Nobody to compete with Kenyans.... it's a dream
Only ethiopia can compete with kenyans
