(BEIJING, July 7) --The Kenya Athletics Federation, which organized the qualifying track and field trials for the Olympics, has selected 36 athletes who will compete in the Beijing Summer Games in August.

Defending Olympic 3000-meter steeplechase champion Ezekiel Kemboi vowed to bring home Olympic gold in the Chinese capital following the trials.

In another pre-Olympics trial, Edwin Cheruiyot Soi sprinted past former world champions Eliud Kipchoge and Thomas Pkemei Longosiwa to win the 5000-meter race at 13:29.5.

Former world champion Wilfred Bungei won the men's 800-meter competition in a career-defining moment against younger runners.

Most of the 36 athletes on Kenya's athletics squad will compete in mid- and long-distance running events in the Beijing Summer Games.
