Reflections to 50 - Day 45 Olympic GOATS!

 Today is Monday August 12

The 2024 Olympic curtain closed yesterday evening in Paris France

So what's on my mind?

I was all geared up to watch the Olympics but truth be told, I didn't watch many live matches, despite signing up to Showmax just for this!

Loved the performance that the indomitable Faith Kipyegon put - what a show of excellence!

Benjamin Zulu summarized it best

No man or woman has ever won the 1500-meter race at the Olympics three times.

But that was until one woman stepped on the scene, namely Faith Kipyegon.

She blasted into undisputed victory last night to the roar and standing ovation of the 75,000 witnesses at the stadium. She ruled the number one spot for twelve years now, or three Olympic games.

She has forever cemented her name in the annals of history that she went out and played her flute in the podium of her generation.

Now, imagine if Kipyegon had married an insecure guy who wanted her to stay at home and to never work? Or if she was among those women who look for a man who can provide everything so that they can just sit back at home?

Of course, there are chores to be done at home.

But that can not substitute your service to the outer world. There are girls who would catch their fire once they see you burning in yours.

How many believed in themselves by just watching Kipyegon?

Nobody can perform your calling for you.

Kipyegon wasn't just running for money but also for self-expression.

Many women are addicted to being provided for. Why would you let your talents atrophy and die within you?

Will you sacrifice the glory and fulfilment of reaching the pinnacle of your existence for laziness and comfort?

...and I will not even get to what Snoop did for the 2024 Olympics! Classic Act

2028 Los Angelus USA....that's the next one....

Olympics 2016!

The 2016 Olympics wrapped up last Sunday

This time I really didnt get to watch it much....just the highlights when I already know the results

For the opening ceremony, I got the timing wronggg...thought it was 11pm....sat up late with the kids until my sister wrote me and said, by the way the opening ceremony is at 2am...well thats too late for me so off I went to bed

Next morning I woke up to the exciting news that the first Olympia Laurel Distinction was given to our very own Kipchoge Keino....I searched instagram and twitter for updates so that i could like, forward etc...but nothing from the agencies I expected!! So the entire team that went to Brazil didnt have a communications person that could be updating us? I think David Rudishas team did a splendid job on the updates! They were personal and with great shots to boot!!

Despite the embarrassment that we caused ourselves n the organising of our representation to the games, the atheletes outdid themselves and made us proud with 13 medals...6 gold, 6 silver and 1 bronze...well done #TeamKenya!

Clearly a lot needs to be done...alot of blame games are already being played....lets see how this pans out..

Me thinks that its easy to get people to pay back.....just get the list of travellers, have each justify their presence and surcharge them....make some heads roll on this one!!!


Meanwhile, sportsmen and women better just prepare themselves for next Olympics...Yego Style ...unfortunate, but true! and then we blame them for moving to Bahrain??? we had better style up!

Tokyo 2020 - here we come?
