Besides the honour of being an Olympian, an athlete should have something tangible to take home from their appearance at the Olympics
Team sports have struggled to get close to this purse but in recent years they have shown steady improvement
Participating at the Olympics should leave a lasting memory in the life of an athlete and it’s my hope that Kenyan corporates will heed Namwamba’s call and give NOC-K all their monies
Picture this…the year is 2040. Yes, a whole 16 years from today.
Nairobi will hopefully be a modern city complete with an efficient public transport system featuring electric buses and state-of-the-art railway to decongest the Central Business District (CBD). The capital city will also be home to at least five modern stadiums making Nairobi a prime sports tourism destination.
