Bernard Lagat knows how to kick. He has done it for nearly two decades. His double gold medals in the 2007 Osaka World Championships, showed that, in the 1,500 meters and 5,000 meters, Bernard Lagat knows how to put himself in the right position to kick for home.
In the meantime, just keep playing Bernard Lagat: Kickologist to see how Lagat finishes races, and you know one thing: if Bernard is close to the leaders, his kick will be dangerous!
