Kenyans celebrate Rudisha and Kitum

Victory is indeed sweet. It ignites a new kind of energy and pride that reminds one self that we can conquer the world. No, we don`t have many medals in our pouch but we have pride that no one can compare.  We celebrate Rudisha and Kitum for making Kenya proud. It feels good to be able to share in their victory. It`s not about the number of medals we have won but it`s what we do with what we have won. As China and the US lock horns on sports supremacy, Kenyans are content with their few victories. Am not saying that we should not aspire for greater heights or more victories, all am saying is, we appreciate what we have. We are proud of our athletes and am sure now the government will think of supporting them better and making sports (whatever kind) an option for career choice. 

In that moment when Rudisha clenches his fist almost saying...."who`s the man now" it feels as though we won all the games in the Olympics. Viva Rudisha, Viva Kenya….
