2. Laban Korir
30 June 1985
Kenya
2:06:05
Korir, who rightly describes his marathon debut as the best achievement of his career so far,
went to number three on the all-time charts for debutants when he finished second in
Amsterdam in 2011. His has been a natural transition on the road, concentrating on 10km
and the half marathon for his first international appearances since 2008. Going into the
Amsterdam race with a half marathon best of 61:03 for sixth in the Berlin Half Marathon
earlier in 2011, he was primed for a good performance yet the marathon can be a cruel
teacher – Korir passed the test with high credit.

championships. After Shem Kororia won these championships and the whole village was
celebrating, Eric decided that one day he would like to be a top athlete like Shem.

9. Lucas Rotich
16 April 1990
Kenya
debut (PB half 59:44)
Lucas was born in Kapsoiya (about 25km from Iten) and grew up in a family with 7 children.
When Lucas ran his final School-Championships in 2007 his father took two days off from
work and travelled 200km to see his son competing. He is Lucas biggest fan but also his
biggest critics as his father believes that only position one is good enough. It took Lucas
some time to explain his father that the difference between school sports in Kenya and the
world-class meetings in Europe is huge and that he would need time to close the gap. When
he went out to Europe in 2008 he ran decent times on 3000m and 5000m (position 1 and 6
on the World Junior Lists) but his father wasn’t happy about the positions he acquired.
In 2012 Lucas missed the Olympics by finishing 6th during the Kenyan trials which made him
decide to change to the roads. However a knee-injury, which lead to surgery in October
2013, has stopped him from showing his skilled so far. Currently training with marathon-
greats Emmanuel Mutai, Eliud Kipchoge, Bernard Koech, Mike and Bernard Kipyego brought
him almost back to old levels. Good enough to make his debut in the marathon of Hamburg.
