Career
Biwott had only a three steeplechase races before the Olympics, and his technique was unorthodox. Instead of placing one foot on the barrier and springing off, he cleared the obstacle in one leap, and in this way reduced the clearance time by half. Biwott never medalled at international competitions after the 1968 Olympics.
He then worked for the Kenya Prisons Service until 1978, when he was prosecuted for theft.
After that he worked as a watchman at a stadium. Biwott is married to Cherono Maiyo, one of the first Kenyan women to compete at the Summer Olympics.
