unlike most kenyan athletes, who tend to concentrate on one or two events, henry is among those very few who have ventured beyond. over the last five years, he has won gold or silver medals in the marathon, half-marathon, 10 km road race, the 10,000 meters, 5,000 meters and the 1,500 meters. no other kenyan athlete has ventured so widely and so successfully. his time of 2:31:31 at the hamburg marathon in 2005 still stands as the world record for blind runners.
