1 . The East African nation of Kenya has a rich tradition in distance running. Unfortunately, a lack of success in field events meant that no one had the qualification to coach Yego, who studied the javelin(标枪) on the Internet.
Yego was born in Cheptonon, a village in the Great Rift Valley, in January 1989 and grew up loving football and running, but when he was lapped(领先一圈) by two competitors in a 10,000m school running race, he turned his attention elsewhere afterward. He started to cut and shape a javelin from tree branches and although his parents thought he should concentrate on his studies, Yego persisted and he became national junior champion.
Combining his job as a policeman with training, Yego turned to the Internet, studying the technique and strength exercises the top javelin throwers employed.
Neither being just 5 feet and 7 inches tall nor weighing 13 stone held Yego back. In 2011, he became the first Kenyan to win a field event medal at a continental meet with gold at the All-Africa Games.
A year later in London he became the first African javelin thrower to reach an Olympic final, finishing 12th a historical moment.
"To be an Olympian is something you will never forget," he said. "So when I was named in the Olympics, I was just so happy. Luckily enough I was in the finals and that just changed all my life."
He was fourth at the 2013 World Championships and won the 2014 Commonwealth tide before being crowned world champion in Beijing, China, a year later with what is the fifth-longest throw in history of 92.72m.
Rio 2016 arrived and Yego was leading after three throws only to suffer an ankle injury on his fourth attempt which forced him to retire, and he looked on as Thomas Rohler of Germany overtook him to seize gold. However, he is not defeated and he will have a chance to improve on that at the next Olympic Games.
