Amazing stuff!!!!Applause Applause Applause Applause Been watching the Brits media celebrating their 3 effing golds ever so loudly . I laughed so hard when i realized that Britain may have to borrow all gold medals won by USA,Jamaica and Germany to have a realistic chance of overhauling Kenya from the table top but do we say?smile


BTW, the pic below seems to suggest Kenyans are walking into medals while the rest of the world punt. Poor EarthlingsPray smile

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

The Guardian was breathless in its description of Yego’s winning heave on its live blog:

An astonishing throw by Julius Yego! He literally launches himself into his third attempt, straining every sinew as he releases the javelin and falling face down onto the floor. His nipples will have taken a hell of a scraping there. It’s ungainly. Unorthodox. And my goodness it’s worth it, the spear flying way past the 90-metre mark! It’s a throw of 92.72, a season’s best! And the Commonwealth record, previously held by Steve Backley.

By winning a world title Yego "amegonga ndipo". Youtube will make him the richest athlete Kenya has ever produced. His is a simple heartwarming story that everyone in the world can identify with. Am so happy for him.

But Malkia strikers have lost all their matches at the ongoing world cup.

Anyway if you want succesful sports teams, then throw money at grassroots and youth levels. Don't concentrate all the money at the top.

at least they qualified for the world cup, corporate sponsorship is not involved at the grassroots - that's the work of the federations, the companies come in when the teams are well exposed to reap max benefits and at the same time benefiting the team especially financially.

I believe you are mistaken on this. Do you remember Copa Coca Cola and Safaricom sakata ball?

These were tournaments that involved youth at the grassroots and unearthed a lot of talent. The likes of Johana Omollo who is now based in Belgium was unearthed in sakata ball.

Its a model that could have also been adopted to other sports like basketball and volleyball.

But Nyamweya ruined it by demanding kitu kidogo from Safaricom

This just tarnishes all the good work that has been done so far...hopefully it doesn not become a media circus. I hope the Kenyan athletics federation imposes lifetime bans to deter anyone else because the world will start thinking we have been doping all these years irrespective of whether short or long distance

On a different note though, let me throw a spanner in the works....was that the strongest 400M hurdles lineup out there? I'm not trying to water down Nicholas Bett's efforts and achievement but I'd be very happy knowing we beat the best. I don't follow that particular race closely.

I must admit I was wrong about Rudisha @ Kusadikika, clearly he had a plan and it worked out - nice analysis. Ezekiel Kemboi demonstrated vigorously by pointing at his head with both index fingers ( which by the way I found quite an unnecessary jibe aimed at his nearest rival) that you need brains as much as brawn to win.

#ProudlyKenyan


@Smano, that was the best team out there, Bett beat the defending champion, he ran the best time of 2015, it was no fluke!!!
