@mwenza - How about you also leave your job for a couple of weeks and go serve your country - in Delhi maybe. Then after that look your kids in the eye and tell them they are having a gold medal for dinner!!! Wanjiru has done more for Kenya than you'll ever do!!! He won a gold medal for Kenya in the Olympics - the biggest ever stage for an athlete - and the first ever Gold in a marathon - and you are yapping about him giving the Delhi games a miss. Get real my brother!


This cracked me up!!!!

You know, sometimes you have to spread your talents - as a country that is... Why have 5 kenyans competing for Nos 1,2,3,4,5 when you can have one compete in Chicago, the other in (where was rudisha?) and the other three bring back each a medal? you will end up having 3 golds 1 silver and 1 bronze..... you leave the easier races for the young athletes...

And for records, Wanjiru has started his own training club to develop the young talents... and he has no funding so he's got to go look for funds out there (like he did) if he is going to sustain this club..... i dont think there are many of us who are as patriotic as that...

Am always excited by the athletes who win Medals for Kenya than those who win Money for Themselves.

Reading through the posts above is quite hilarious. The justifications just don't add up!

Amazing! And by the way, Kudos to all our great sportsmen and women in Delhi who have done us proud once more! Was that 4 clean sweeps in the races? The rest of the world just can't help but take notice.

These guys have made us a SUPERPOWER - on the track.

Now if only the rest of us would endeavour to do the same in our respective fields.

KENYA'S John Kelai and Irene Kosgei produced dominant performances to claim marathon gold at the Commonwealth Games. Amos Tirop Matui came in third in the Men Marathon and Irene Mogake was second in the women marathon. That is 1, 3 in the Men Marathon and 1, 2 in the Women marathon. I am extremely proud to be a Kenya.

One more thing, Kenya topped the athletics medal table for the first time in the Commonwealth Games history.

Congratulations to all OUR athletes - including those who didn't win any medals this time round. We are very proud of you. May God bless you abundantly.

@mwenza - Do you still insist Wanjiru should have skipped Chicago and headed to Delhi. I think you should re-read @wendz post [post #21]. You might learn a thing or two.

@Seeders - You have hit the nail on the head!!! I love your sarcasm - it drives the point home PAP! Right now no one cares about Wanjiru's training club. If / After it evolves and becomes an athlete management agencies raking in millions of dollars a fellow who has been sitting on his matish all along pops out of nowhere and starts counting how many directors/managers etc. are from which community.

@Seeders - This is for you. Applause Applause Applause Applause Applause

@Maichblack...................No need to re-read @Wendz post because, like many other wazuans, she missed my point completely.

......And the point is that I WAS MORE EXCITED watching Mutai(am told the name MATUI splashed on the screen was erroneous) winning the Gold Medal for Kenya than watching Wanjiru win money for himself at Chicago Marathon.

Please note that failure to get excited(and this is the key word) is not similar to getting "disappointed" as i have read in another thread.

You have just confirmed you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about!!! Where did you watch Mutai/Matui winning Gold??? It is John Kelai who won Gold. Amos Tirop Matui/Mutai took the bronze.

I intentionally avoided addressing the issue of " excitement" in my earlier post because that is a right that no one can deny you....

To my simple mind, I thought the issue was insinuating that he is "less patriotic" than those who were in Delhi. My point was, which in your opinion i missed, in kenya we have too many talented athletes to concentrate them in one place.... if all our top athletes went to Delhi in the name of patriotism, they would have denied the up-coming athletes to show their case.....
