Team Kenya
is back in the Country after performing badly at London Olympics. We expected many medals especially Gold from
our champion athletes but only managed 2 Gold, 4 Silver and 5 bronze ending at
position 28.
Watching athletics our favorite became a disappointing
affair when most athletes failed to win as expected. Despite Team Kenya’s overall
bad performance, Ezekiel Kemboi in 3000m steeplechase and David Lekuta Rudisha (broke
World record in the men’s 800 meters final) brought back our pride.
It’s strange that many athletes performed badly at the
Olympics but when they participate in better paying races they perform well,
why? Now they are preparing for the forthcoming Diamond League races that
resume this Friday at Stockholm
we’ll see how they perform.
Why is it that when there is poor performance in other games
like football the Coach is fired or asked to resign but we do not hear this in athletics?
Something must have gone wrong like choosing the wrong people or favoritism, so
someone must be made answerable because it is not cheap to send a team abroad
and come back with poor performance from world champions.
