For the first time in history, an African nation stands on top of the world. The Jamaicans put up a valiant fight and although tied with KE in their gold & bronze medals haul, we had a lot more silvers than they did.
Athletics super power, USA, was relegated to third place while Russia was in ninth. Hosts, China were really outclassed this time around.
Now let's wait and see what kind of homecoming our heroes get once they get to JKIA. If only we could turn out in large numbers as we do for politicians; be it opposition candidate, Kibaki, coming back from seeking medical attention in the UK, or candidates Uhuruto coming back from thumbing their noses at the ICC in The Hague, or "Baba" coming back from his sabbatical leave in the USA.
Where politicians are heroes, our real ones are usually just forgotten...

Where politicians are heroes, our real ones are usually just forgotten... Typically Kenyans are armchair critics and cheerleaders! Ask them to go the streets to cheer the heroes and you will get an "you are being funny" stare. But when it comes to the politician, they will cheer and injure at the same time even for the most ridiculous reason! |

But when it comes to the politician, they will cheer and injure at the same time even for the most ridiculous reason! Indeed, Kamale. I for one admit to be an avid armchair critic. I'd have liked to have made an exception tomorrow when our heroic team returns but I'll be a victim of back to school blues. I don't know if you saw the recent chaos at Trans Nzoia when a bunch of youths tried to cling on to a helicopter as it was taking off:  3 of them were injured, one of them seriously as they tried in vain to get their MPig to make good on a promise of leaving them with KES 100,000 for attending his rally. Kenyan politician that he is, he left the scene without leaving them a dime. These chaps didn't fear the dust, or the blades, or even the fact that they were being taken for a ride (pun intended). Desperate times... |
