Dude was so fast in the fast 50m, but slowed on the next 50.....lets hope he wil perform better in his next race...the 50m freestyle!!!


Don't pin your hopes on David. I happened to watch the 8 heats and they are arranged in order of slowest to fastest. David was not even on the list of those who met the qualifying Olympic time. The guys who met the qualifying time were from heat 5-8.

Nonetheless he did Kenya proud. Go team Kenya!


We are pinning our hope on every Kenyan

C'mon, theman, do you really know what you are talking about? David was 26th out of 52 swimmers, that is still pretty good!!!

Can they allow our youngstars to go practice gymnastics at Japan/Korea?

...Kumbafu wao...What facilities do they need to practice long distance running? Tuko na nyika yote. Probably they wouldn't come because we don't have enough dogs to feed them...and again if they want to run they should stop eating dogs...

After failing to win as many medals as they had hoped for so far, the Brits are already asking whether the investment into the games was worthy it.


not good for the brits they are 0 2 2 with week one about to end .at the top its still china 13 6 4 and usa 9 8 6 this will be very interesting usa should be in double figures regarding gold medals won in the pool phelps alone won 8 gold medals in beijing .

usa normally dominates swimming then track field where jamaica now awaits them.
a new pecking order is about to emerge in olympics with china on top

the battle for africa top place is now between kenya ,ethiopia and southafrica who have two gold medals from swimming they will probably pick more in the pool one of their swimmers yesterday upset the phelps

Boss, the fact that David is at the Olympics is no mean achievement; something that I will NEVER achieve in my lifetime.

However, I was just repeating the qualifying format that's all. No harm no foul.
