The crowning of Kenya as a world champion at the just-concluded World Athletics Championships in Beijing is a feat that will be relished for years to come.
Memories of Kenya’s sporting greatness are hard to forget. The first medal in the Commonwealth Games by Seraphino Antao in 1962, followed by Kipchoge Keino’s gold medal in 1966. Then the glorious days of the Kenya hockey team, when Kenya reached the semi-finals in the first hockey World Cup in 1971 at Barcelona and later the Kenya cricket team reaching the quarter-finals in the World Cup in 2003 in South Africa. These are historical facts that should catapult Kenya to greater heights.
