During the training at Kericho Green Stadium,
Kericho team coach Sammy Bii hinted that they are well prepared to participate in South Rift Regional championship set to take place in Narok county on 10th June,2023.  It is by a whisker that this county has failed to be involved in Olympic games both locally and internationally by providing either athletes or coaches.

The upcoming events will be a no short of variety of teams comprising a total number of six counties in South Rift region, namely (Kericho, Bomet, Narok, Kajiado, Nakuru and Laikipia counties).

 “We have fully prepared a strong united team of sixty-two athletes, which will be representing Kericho county in the staged Regional championships. We also have ten officials inclusive of a doctor who will take care of any impromptu illness during the competition,” said Sammy Bii, Kericho Coach.

He further stated that, the county government has provided them with bus to carter for their transportation to and fro. The athletes have also been budgeted for good balanced diet food.

Every Tuesday and Thursday athletes avail themselves in the field, Kericho Green stadium from 6.30AM to 10.00AM for training and practices which they believe they are essential for their physicality and development.  The training sessions, it is not only the athletes alone, but due to team work, their coaches ensure that each and every step they cover together.

The coaches also play important role not only in training the athletes but also counselling them in matters of their social lives and financial usage, where Sammy Bii exhorted his athletes to adopt sustainable ways of living.

In addition, Kericho Marathoners prospected to extend their fate to engage the community by helping them in form of providing the vulnerable members with food and clothing. ‘‘We are targeting a motivating factor to assist churches within Kericho county to get good chairs,’’ added Bii.

Some of the challenges faced by the athletes as Paul Tanui one of the professional athletes highlighted involves; poor housing, financial status, facilities used during training are major concerns. Athletes sometimes miss to attend training due to the challenges they face individually.

In the cases of use of drugs i.e. doping which is one of the serious issues affecting Kenyan Olympic games. Tanui urged his teammates to evade any indulgence into such to ensure that they continue as a team making Kericho county and Kenya at large scaled up to its highest zenith in Olympics.

Raphinha There were subplots aplenty heading into this intriguing first El Clásico of the season – the first for Kylian Mbappé and Hansi Flick on either side of the divide in Spanish football’s biggest rivalry. Mbappé was striving to make an early impression, and Barça had their blushes twice spared by the linesman’s flag, as the Frenchman saw an effort skim the side netting, before he teed up Jude Bellingham with a close-range effort which was clawed away by Iñaki Peña in the opening exchanges. The France captain also reacted to a Pau Cubarsí error with a long-range shot that just cleared the crossbar. Flick had plenty of ammunition at his disposal too though, and La Masia prodigy Lamine Yamal was denied by...
