With just a day before the athletics program
officially commences at the international spectacle, Kenya participates in
several discipline athletics such as boxing, archery, judo, weight lifting,
rugby and swimming.
Kenya is expected to get most of medals in the track
and field events at the games and especially within the middle and short
distance races such as the 800m, 1,500m, 3,000m steeplechase, 5,000m, and
10,000m for both men and women.
Mr. Ruto’s arrival comes amid a false start for team
Kenya at the games. Already two boxers, plus the men and women sevens rugby
teams have been eliminated from the games.
The Deputy President's support will not only boost
the morale of the Kenyan athletes but will signal to the Brazilian Government
that Kenya does value their relationship.
