Most Olympic sports like archery and equestrian are bogus and not worthwhile.

Given the high youth unemployment rate, Kenya should invest in sports that can provide a livelihood. There is good money to be made in amateur boxing, athletics and football. Sports like basketball and volleyball can earn players scholarships to the US and other countries and even professional contracts overseas. Field events and the sprints can also make a person good money.

I am really enjoying hii compe ya farasi kurukaruka and kudance dance with swag and madoido, equestrian. Just wondering - did the competitors ship their horses to Brazil, coz that must be damn expensive.

You need to care about sports to begin with! In order to make it as a general sporting nation you need to have facilities and a culture of children - lots of children playing these sports from a young age! Technically these sports do add anything substantial as compared to the amount of effort put in them! In country where this is a normality - we are climbing the tree from the top.

I dare say that we are actually punching way beyond our weight in sports right now... way beyond! If countries like Portugal have been in the games since 1912 and have a total haul of 4 gold medals in all those years - with a GDP 5 times our size. some sports are a product of a prosperous economy. India with it's 1 billion people and an economy the size of africa has a total of 9 medals in all olympic games where 8 were hockey and 1 is shooting. So let's climb hii kitu pole pole.

Oh yes... it's your horse. I have seen them being trained for that dance... sio mchezo!! dancing hiyo kitu sio mchezo. By the way US may hit their 1,000 Gold medal in Rio... I think they are at 988 now and sisi tuko mahali at 25!!

Yaani that Belgian judoka took his bronze medal to a crime prone area. What was he expecting?
And where were his judo skills when he needed them most? smile smile
