Pre-race Athletics Kenya announced that the top two finishers would earn guaranteed places on the Kenyan Olympic team, with the third spot decided at a later date. Saitama-based Karoki's PB run was thus not enough to assure that he will make it to the London.
In the women's 10000 m, Aomori Yamada H.S. graduate and former Suzuki team member Lucy Kabuu Wangui dropped out late in the race after running much of the way in the lead group.
Update: RRW editor David Monti quotes AK president Isaiah Kiplagat as confirming post-race that Karoki will be included on the London team in this article. Congratulations to Bitan, someone Japanese audiences have had the pleasure of watching for over four years.
