Voir Dan Rather Reports, Season 7 - Episode 22

(7/24/2012) On the eve of the Olympics, we take viewers to Kenya to uncover the secrets of how athletes from a third world country on the world’s poorest continent have all but taken over marathon running, one of the most popular sports in the world. Iten is a tiny Kenyan farming village where many live without running water, there are no stoplights and a sign of success is owning one’s own cow. But this town also happens to be home to more world-class runners than any other place on earth, including all six of Kenya’s Olympic marathon team. And we’ll also meet an unlikely coach, a missionary from Ireland, who came to Kenya in the 1970s to teach geography, and ended up forever changing the sport of running.
