The 18th World Athletics Championships ended yesterday Oregon in USA. For the last two weeks, social media has been awash with criticism on the manner the national team was prepared in the run up to the championships. Kenyans blamed AK for poor talent nurturing, old-fashioned coaching skills and poor preparations. They also complained over inadequate government support to athletics.

It is sad that we continue losing key races that we have dominated for more than 50 years.
