NAIROBI Cheap Miranda Jersey , Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- After his failure to win a championship medal in his early career, Micah Kogo of Kenya has penciled the Olympic marathon as his best bet to break the jinx in Rio in August.
Kogo, 29, is the former world record holder in the 10 kilometers road race with a time of 27:01 Cheap Milan Skriniar Jersey , and is the second fastest after countryman Leonard Komon.
He has been entered in Paris marathon in April and believes, he will win it to force his way into the Kenya team.
"I have done well on track, but never won a gold medal. But I believe, if given a chance in marathon Cheap Mauro Icardi Jersey , I will deliver," he said, Friday in Nairobi.
"I want to win in Paris to convince the selectors, I have potential to win gold in Rio."
However Cheap Matias Vecino Jersey , Kogo knows that making the Kenya marathon team is harder than winning the gold medal itself in the Olympics.
From a group of over 100 marathon runners who have clocked below 2:10.00, Kogo will find it hard to pick his place in the choking field.
Three years after making his marathon debut, Kogo feels that he is now ready to make a name for himself at the classic distance.
He transitioned from a successful career on the track, in which he won Olympic silver in the 10 Cheap Marco Pissardo Jersey ,000m, has completed six marathons.
His marathon personal best time of 2:06:56 comes from the 2013 Chicago Marathon, while his top marathon placing so far is a runner-up spot at the 2013 Boston Marathon, his debut at the distance.
While he has not been able to improve on these performances in the following years Cheap Marcelo Brozovic Jersey , he is confident that he can perform well at this year's Paris Marathon, which he hopes will earn him a spot on the Kenyan team to Rio.
SEOUL， Dec. 2 (Xinhua) -- Three main opposition parties of South Korea have agreed to vote on a bill to impeach embattled President Park Geun-hye next Friday， after handing in the impeachment motion on Friday.
Floor leaders of the biggest opposition Minjoo Party， minor oppositions People's Party and the Justice Party met on Friday to discuss a way to let President Park resign after the president threw the ball of decision on her fate in parliamentary court.
The opposition bloc agreed to propose the impeachment motion on Friday and vote on the bill on Dec. 9.
The impeachment proposal requires a half support of the 300-seat National Assembly. Passing the motion must have the two-thirds ayes from the unicameral assembly.
As there are 172 opposition and independent lawmakers， at least 28 legislators of the ruling Saenuri Party must be secured to pass the impeachment motion through the parliament.
Up to 50 lawmakers of the anti-Park faction in the ruling party had agreed to impeach President Park， but the figure reportedly declined to an undefined number after Park's national address on Tuesday.
During her third public speech since the scandal involving herself emerged in October， Park said she would step down from the presidency if the governing and opposition parties find a way to ensure a stable transfer of power while minimizing confusion and vacuum in state affairs.
After the presidential speech， the ruling party's pro-Park faction loyal to President Park sought to stop impeachment efforts， while opposition parties denounced the address as a ploy to block impeachment.
Opposition lawmakers were originally supposed to put forward the impeachment motion on Thursday and vote on it on Friday.
The Saenuri Party has adopted a party line of letting President Park stand down in a gradual and orderly manner， demanding Park voluntarily depart from office by next April and a presidential election be held two months later.
It was denounced as a political strategy to buy time given that the ruling party has little possibility to regain government power in early presidential election. Approval rating for the Saenuri Party kept falling together with the president's approval scores that have fallen to the single digits.
The non-Park faction members of the governing party， who are not loyal to Park， have been divided over how to remove the scandal-plagued president from office. They have called on Park to specify a date for her resignation by 6 p.m. local time next Wednesday.
Some non-Park faction members reportedly claim to join the impeachment vote unless rival parties agree on a specific date for Park's resignation. Others insist on no need to impeach Park if she picks a date for her departure.
Opposition lawmakers plan to vote on the impeachment as scheduled though the scandal-hit president specifies a date for her voluntary resignation. They have refused to negotiate the date with the ruling bloc.
The opposition bloc doesn't believe that President Park would keep her promise to bow out of office at a specific date given that the president repeatedly refused prosecutors' call for face-to-face questioning. Park had vowed to accept the interrogation during her second address over the scandal on Nov. 4.
Prosecutors branded Park as an accomplice to Choi Soon-sil， the president's longtime confidante who was indicted on multiple counts including abuse of power and extortion.
Amid soaring public anger， the president said during her third public speech that she will actively cooperate with the investigation by a special prosecutor who will probe the case independently. The independent counsel was appointed earlier this week. Enditem
