The back page, page 32, of the Sunday Monitor newspaper of Kampala, Uganda, Aug. 12, 2012, echoes the national pessimism over Uganda's medal prospects at the summer Olympic Games. The long distance athlete Stephen Kiprotich stunned the athletic world with an unexpected victory in the men's Marathon in London, United Kingdom, on Aug. 12, 2012. It was Uganda's second ever Olympic gold medal, the first after John Akii-Bua's 400m hurdles gold at the 1972 summer Olympic Games in Munich, West Germany, in September 1972. Pictured on this same page is Meseret (pronounced Mas-rat) Defar of Ethiopia and sprinter Carmelita Jeter of the United States.

Flickr UGANDAN WINS FIRST GOLD MEDAL IN 40 YEARS

Stephen Kiprotich Uganda's first Olympic gold medal in 40 years

Uganda's Stephen Kiprotich crosses the finish line to win the athletics event men's marathon during the London 2012 Olympic Games on August 12, 2012 in London. AFP PHOTO — at London Olympics 2012.

LONDON – Stephen Kiprotich didn't just overcome 26.2 miles and world-class Kenyan runners to win the Olympic men's marathon on Sunday.

The 23-year-old produced an upset on the streets of London to win Uganda's first Olympic gold medal in 40 years just days after being completely written off by his nation's media.

"To say that the Ugandan team will return from the Olympic Games with a medal is similar to believing that Uganda will qualify for the 2014 (soccer) World Cup," Ugandan daily newspaper The Observer wrote. "See, both scenarios are realistically possible but executing them is anything but attainable. Kiprotich is not expected to mount any challenge in Sunday's marathon."

Other Ugandan publications were just as dismissive about Kiprotich. But with a superb run that saw him go head-to-head with two members of the world's most dominant marathon nation and then charge away with a devastating late burst, he carved out his own niche in Olympic history.

Kenya, which remarkably had 278 runners with times good enough to qualify for this marathon but was only allowed to send three, had eventual silver medalist Abel Kirui and third-place finisher Wilson Kipsang surrounding the Ugandan in a leading group of three for much of the race.

It was a situation that Ugandan running chiefs have tried to avoid by developing more emerging talent and a stronger team, but nevertheless it happened. Kiprotich was isolated. He had become, to use African running parlance, the "rabbit."

Yet this rabbit was not going to be snared in the trap and won both the mental battle and physical strain that this tortuous event always brings. Out of 105 starters, 20 could not complete the course, but Kiprotich did it in a winning time of 2:08:01.

Kiprotich celebrates with his national flag after winning the men's marathon (REUTERS) He made a critical break with four miles left and Kirui and Kipsang, who had made an ill-advised early burst before being reeled in, had nothing left to answer. Kiprotich was well clear as he surged down The Mall, the iconic avenue in central London that leads to the Queen's residence at Buckingham Palace.

He had time to grab a flag as he moved towards the finish line. Back home, where it was early on Sunday afternoon with most of the population having just left church, Ugandans celebrated wildly.

It was Uganda's first gold since John Akii-Bua set a world record in winning the 400-meter hurdles at the 1972 Munich Olympics. And the triumph was all the sweeter because it was so unexpected.

"The press in Uganda thought he had no chance, so the public began to think the same," said Faith Okee, a Uganda fan in London. "Even when we saw him move away with the Kenyan we assumed they would run him off. We hoped for a bronze.

"This is beyond our dreams and I have never been prouder to be Ugandan."

Perhaps it should not have been such a surprise after all. Kiprotich had pedigree to his name, having defeated running legend Haile Gebrselassie to finish third in the Tokyo Marathon earlier this year. Kiprotich is a quiet man of few words but his first comment after crossing the line was all that was needed.

"This means a lot to Uganda," he said.

Indeed it does.

Flickr Kiprotich - Uganda - wins marathon

il primo runner sulla sx è il vincitore della maratona olimpica 2012. qui al primo passaggio a Temple.Stephen Kiprotich (Kapchorwa, 27 febbraio 1989) è un atleta ugandese, campione olimpico di maratona a Londra 2012 con il tempo di2h08'01"[1][2]. Per l'Uganda è stato il primo atleta a vincere la maratona, la prima medaglia d'oro dal 1972 ed anche la prima medaglia in assoluto dal 1996.Nato nel 1989 nel distretto di Kapchorwa, Uganda, ai confini con il Kenya, proviene da una famiglia di agricoltori ed è il più giovane di sette fratelli. Da bambino dovette lasciare la scuola per una malattia infantile.

Dal 2004 al 2006 lascia lo sport per terminare gli studi e, a 17 anni, si trasferisce in Kenya nella regione dell'Eldoret, nella Rift Valley, per allenarsi con Eliud Kipchoge.

Il suo record personale risale alla maratona di Enschede con il tempo di 2h07'20", che è anche il record della competizione olandese e il primato ugandese di specialità. Ha concluso al terzo posto la maratona di Tokyo con il tempo di 2h07'50".

Per la sua vittoria ai Giochi di Londra si è ispirato a John Akii-Bua, l'unico ugandese a vincere una medaglia d'oro alle Olimpiadi di Monaco nel 1972 nella specialità dei 400 metri piani.[4]

Kiprotich was still in 3rd place at this stage...
The commentators thought he was struggling but he was still able to sprint past the Kenyans to take the gold medal.
This was the first Olympic medal for Uganda since 1996, the first gold medal since 1972, and the first ever in the marathon.
He ran a personal best of 2:07:20 in 2011 at the Enschede Marathon in the Netherlands, which set a new course record for the Enschede Marathon and a new Ugandan record in athletics. He finished third in the 2012 Tokyo Marathon with a time of 2:07:50

El ugándes Stephen Kiprotich fue la sorpresa al ganar la medalla de oro en el maratón de los juegos olímpicos de Londres 2012.

Kiprotich terminó con un tiempo de 2:08:01 y dejó a los kenianos Abel Kirui (2:08:27) y Wilson Kipsang (2:09:37) con la medallas de plata y bronce.

Una mañana calurosa en Londres (25ºC grados) con humedad en el ambiente evitó buenas marcas y contribuyó al abandono de muchos maratonistas, el caso de los tres etíopes que extrañamente dejaron la carrera.

Ryan Hall y Abdi Abdirahman ambos de Estados Unidos también abandonaron el maratón, Ryan Hall por una lesión en el muslo...

Ethiopian and Kenyan athletes were heavily favoured to win the race, but it was eventually won in an upset victory by Stephen Kiprotich of Uganda in a time of 2:08:01. In the backdrop of the studio, framed by the five Olympic rings, are images of previous Ethiopian long-distance track Olympic champions and other Olympic medal winners.

A dramatic sunrise glows over Nsambya, Kabalagala and Muyenga in Kampala, Uganda on the morning of July 27, 2012. The skyline is divided almost equally between the dark night sky (top) and the lit sky over the city (below). The Games of the XXX Olympiad in London opened on July 27, 2012 and in retrospect, the orange-red glow over Kampala appeared to be a sign of fortune for Uganda --- which won its first Olympic gold medal on the closing day of the Games with Stephen Kiprotich's unexpected victory in the men's Marathon on Aug. 12, 2012. Uganda had previously won an Olympic gold in September 1972 through John Akii-Bua's world and Olympic record in the men's 400metres hurdles at Munich, West Germany.
