Talk:Stephen Kiprotich

Prisons
According to the London 2012 website, his club is "Prisons". Was he ever a prisoner, or is this a totally innocent name of an atheltics club? Astronaut (talk) 12:19, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * He's a prison guard, apparently. GregorB (talk) 18:23, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The Kenya prison service has its own sports club. Kenyan athletes are often given superficial positions in such organisations so they have a wage and access to sports facilities. SFB 11:11, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Related to Wilson Kipsang Kiprotich
Is he related to Wilson Kipsang Kiprotich, the bronze medal winner at the London 2012 men's marathon? Astronaut (talk) 12:20, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * There is no mention of a relationship here which containes quotes from both athletes. The Wilson Kipsang article does say they are brothers but this does not seem to be reported so I think this should be removed [EDIT: Now done].  Sussexonian (talk) 22:16, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * There have been a few runners with the name Kiprotich; it is a Kalenjin name, but does not necessarily mean that they are related. pablo 15:28, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The name means "son of Rotich" so it's very common, like Johnson is in English. SFB 11:11, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
