Kenya's athletics team has a lot to learn from its recent performance at the World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar. Despite finishing second behind the United States with four gold medals, two silvers, and four bronze, the team must not rest on its laurels as the Olympic Games in Tokyo are just around the corner.
Published on October 10, 2019, by Barnabas Korir, the article highlights the need for the team to go back to the drawing board and fix things well ahead of time. The author notes that Kenya is a nation of firsts, but finishing second is not good enough.
The article also touches on the need for the team to restrategise and revive its old good days, particularly in events such as the men's 3,000 meters steeplechase, 5,000m, and 10,000m.
