In order to qualify to run the 100 meter dash in the Olympics and represent the United States, a sprinter must qualify to run in the U.S. Olympic trials which means you have to run a qualifying time in order to be eligible to participate in the trials. The qualifying time must be a result of an electric timer (accutrack time) no hand held times are allowed for qualification for this event. Then you have to place in the top three in the finals of the 100 in the trials in order to quaify to represent the U.S. in the 100 meters in the Olympics.
Any National Olympic Committee is permitted to enter 3 athletes for a single event if they meet A qualification standard or only 1 athlete per event if they meet B qualification standard. For women's 800 meters run A time was 1:59.90 and B time was 2:01.30 for 2012 summer Olympics.
8am GMT is 11am Kenyan time, while 8pm GMT is 11pm Kenyan time, so the time difference remains constant at 3 hours.
The A Standard is the "automatic" qualifying time for an event. The B Standard is the backup qualifying time. To be guaranteed a spot in an Olympic event, you must both earn a slot from your country (number of slots may vary by event and by country) and have achieved the A standard. If there are not enough participants around the world who have qualified that way, then competitors with B Standard times may be added to "make the event competitive."
Kenyan time is 3 hours ahead of GMT. Therefore, 8 AM - 8 PM GMT is equivalent to 11 AM - 11 PM in Kenyan time.
8 AM GMT is 11 AM in Kenyan time. Kenya is 3 hours ahead of GMT.

No.Wilson Kipketer, a Kenyan who was living in Denmark, was considered the favorite in the time leading up to the 1996 Games. But Kipketer was not a full citizen of Denmark and the Kenyan Olympic Committee protested his participation. The International Olympic Committee agreed and Kipketer was not allowed to compete at the 1996 Games.Athletes from Kenya had won the previous 2 Olympic men's 800 meter events and were expected to be the favorites in the competition.Vebjørn Rodal of Norway had never won an international event and was not considered to be a medal contender. But he won the gold medal in a time of 1:42.58 which is still an Olympic record. Four of the runners (Rodal, Hezekial Sepeng of South Africa, Fred Onyancha of Kenya, and Norberto Téllez of Cuba) finished the race in under 1:43 in what was one of the most exciting races of the 1996 Games. The time difference between 1st place and 4th place was .27 seconds.The Olympic gold medal was Rodal's only international victory of his career.
