Last Sunday, when the curtain fell on the 18th edition of the World Athletics Under-20 Championships at the Moi International Sports Centre, Nairobi, it was gratifying to see Team Kenya go home with a haul of 16 medals.
Coming so soon after the Tokyo Olympics which, in spite of yielding 10 medals for Kenya, left a bitter taste in the mouths of many athletics fans here, with our team seen to falter in the early stages of the tournament, the Under-20 tournament was a welcome relief.
