AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> It is strange how fortunes turn around. For Benjamin Kipkoech Limo, the world 5000m gold he struck at the 2005 World Athletics Championships\u00a0in Helsinki, Finland, remains a memorable one \u2013 it left a mark in his life.<\/p>\n

The global title, which stands out as Kenya\u2019s last men\u2019s gold medal at the global showpiece, influenced the name he gave his only son, Helsinki Kigen Limo.<\/p>\n

His move was just like that of Noah Ng\u2019eny, the 2000\u00a0Olympic\u00a01500m champion.<\/p>\n

When he chalked up victory at the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, his wife Eusilah gave birth to a baby girl \u2013 their second-born \u2013 the same day Ng\u00e9ny won 1500m Olympic gold in August 2000.<\/p>\n

They named her Sydney in remembrance of the gold medal, which was then Kenya\u2019s third in 1500m at the Olympic Games after Peter Rono in 1988 (Seoul Korea) and Kipchoge Keino in 1968, in Mexico City.<\/p>\n

Limo,\u00a0Baba\u00a0Helsinki or\u00a0508, as he is fondly referred to, Limo is also a Commonwealth Games medalist, a world cross-country winner and former International Association of Athletics Federations, (now World Athletics), Athletes\u2019 Commission representative.<\/p>\n

Kenyans are eager to end the 15-year-old gold drought in men\u2019s 5000m at the 2022\u00a0World Athletics Championships\u00a0in Oregon, USA.<\/p>\n

American Bernard Lagat and Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele denied Eliud Kipchoge gold medals in Osaka and Berlin in 2007 and 2009 respectively, where the Kenyan settled for silver medals. Then came the emergence of Britain\u2019s Mo Farah and now Uganda\u2019s Joshua Cheptegei.<\/p>\n

Limo, who lives in the upmarket Elgon View Estate in Eldoret, but comes from Chepkong\u00f3ny in Elgeyo Marakwet County, has had a mystery of the figures\u00a0508\u00a0featuring on his assets.<\/p>\n

His phone numbers \u2013 Safaricom and Airtel \u2013 both end with\u00a0508. His vehicle registration numbers; Massey Ferguson tractor and wheat combine harvester, also bear the number.<\/p>\n

He considers this his lucky number. He was born on August 23, 1974, won the 5000m world title in August 2005 and had his only son, Helsinki Tony Kigen, born barely two days before he conquered the world.<\/p>\n

He also won gold and silver medals in different editions of the World Military Games in August 2008.<\/p>\n

With the most memorable days of his life coming in August and featuring the figure five, Limo then coined his\u00a0508\u00a0from the year 2005 and 5,000m race (5) as well as the month of August (08), which he regards his month of success.<\/p>\n

Some of his assets, for example, the Land Cruiser, bear the letter \u2018L\u2019 for Limo. Limo says he named the boy \u201cHelsinki\u201d as his birth motivated him to win the race.<\/p>\n

It was Kenya\u2019s only gold medal during the 2005 World Championships.<\/p>\n

Before flying out to Finland, Limo camped in United Kingdom for training and was impressed by then Prime Minister Tony Blair\u2019s policies and thus earned the boy\u2019s second name Tony.<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked Tony Blair\u2019s system of governance. It was policy-driven,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Keiyo, the name Kigen means \u2018in waiting\u2019. Having waited for a world title in the 5000m and considering the long wait for a son in my family, I found the name to be befitting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While he was preparing for the August 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, Limo\u2019s wife, Margaret, was expectant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pregnancy was almost exceeding the normal nine months and she was always in and out of maternity wards.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI could not settle for training, as it gave me restless moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe later settled on one thing:\u00a0Kila mtu afanye kazi yake\u00a0(let everyone do his part). I strive to win a gold medal in 5000m while she delivers another gold at home. I prayed for a baby boy. That was when races for gold medals started. I am grateful that it all came to pass.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like many other Kenyan world-beating athletes, his house is decorated with pictures of him at the World Cross Country Championships, the Commonwealth Games and World Championships. He trained at PACE Sports Management stable in Kaptagat alongside Olympic 5000m champion Vivian Cheruiyot, former Frankfurt Marathon winner Mark Kiptoo, Kiplimo Kimutai, among many others.<\/p>\n

Limo trained under\u00a0British Teddington-based\u00a0kingmaker Ricky Simms, who managed multiple world record holder Usain Bolt.<\/p>\n

Limo was unhappy that Kenya could not keep the Athletes Representative slot at the World Athletes Congress last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is sad we have no representation at the moment, yet we have the highest number of athletes. Kenya is an athletics powerhouse that should have representation on the global stage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He resigned as an official of Athletics Kenya Central Rift branch in protest, citing supremacy battles and corruption at Athletics Kenya a few years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe system at the national level did not look good,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His remarks came even as Athletics Kenya celebrated its 70 anniversary in Nairobi yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
