National coach Sammy Kibet is upbeat Kenya’s rich athletics history will inspire his charges to victory at the inaugural Africa Deaf Athletics Championships that starts at Kasarani Stadium tomorrow.

Kibet believes the 50-member squad will dominate the week-ong event. “Our chances of dominating the games are high because of the quality of athletes we are fielding. Some of them have excelled on the global stage and competing at home will give them an added advantage. They are also inspired by Kenya’s rich history and they are longing to make Kenya proud,” Kibet said.
