The Japan-based long distance runner said with good planning and training, the country will be able to reclaim the 10,000m title, last won in 1968 Games by
Naftali Temu.
"We are getting closer and I believe Mo Farah is sensing that the gap has been reduced and to win in Rio will be a major struggle. But we have to look at
the present and what matters now is the qualification first," Karoki said on
Friday from Nyahururu in central Kenya.
A hamstring injury took the wind out of Karoki's sail in the build up to the 2012 London Olympics, which he struggled to finish fifth. But the 25-year-old in
now keen to make amends in Rio.
"In Beijing, we had a good strategy and Farah was lucky to escape with the gold. It will be harder in Rio. For me I was frustrated to finish fourth and I
believe we can work on it better as a team and that is why I want to compete at
the World Half Marathon together with my friend Geoffrey Kamworor," he added.
Though Kenya is yet to name its team to the World Half Marathon, defending champion Kamworor has confirmed he is keen to retain his title.
And now Karoki has also sounded out Athletics Kenya (AK) officials to consider him for the same competition.
The two won gold and silver in Guiyang, China in March last year during the World Cross Country Championships.
Karoki hopes that 2015 world leader Abraham Cheroben will also focus on the championship road race.
Karoki expects to open his 2016 campaign at the Discovery Cross Country Championships in Eldoret on Jan. 31. He is also set to race at the RAK half
marathon on Feb. 13.
Choosing new furniture living room sets can be a big responsibility, because you want to make sure that you are happy with the sets that you choose and that
you spend your money wisely. If you are not sure how to go about choosing good
furniture living room sets for your living room, there are a few steps that you
can take that will help make the process a little bit simpler so that you don't
need to worry so much about making a mistake. First and foremost, you should
decide how much money you have available to spend on your new furniture living
room set, because your budget will determine what type of living room set you
choose, how many pieces you can afford to purchase, whether or not you can
purchase extended protection on your new furniture, etc. If you figure out how
much money you can afford to spend, it will help you to narrow down your
furniture living room set choices more quickly so that you can spend less time
shopping and more time doing more important things like spending time relaxing
with your family on your brand new furniture living room set. Second, you should
figure out what material you want your furniture living room set to be made
from. Two of the most common choices are leather and microfiber, but there are
several sub-categories even within those two categories and you might decide
that you want your living room furniture set to be made from some other type of
material instead. You might change your mind once you see different furniture
living room sets, but if you start out with at least an idea of the material
that you prefer, it will help to guide your decision and make your shopping
experience a little bit easier. Third, you should measure the area where you
plan to place your new furniture living room set and take those measurements
with you so that you don't purchase a living room set that will be too crowded
for the area and will end up making it feel cramped and uncomfortable. A
salesman can most likely help you to decide which furniture living room sets
will fit best in your living room based on the measurements that you bring in.
You could also get some painters tape and lay it down on the floor in the
outline of the different living room pieces that you plan to purchase. This can
help you to visualize where each furniture piece will go and give you an even
better idea of what size each piece should ideally be. And fourth, make sure
that you enjoy the process so that it isn't a tortuous experience. Believe it or
not, it is possible to have a good time while shopping for a new furniture
living room set, especially if you focus on enjoying the process rather than
stressing out about it. After all, you are purchasing a new furniture living
room set that will make your living room look attractive and comfortable so that
it will be a place where your family will enjoy spending time. There?s little
