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!

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

...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.

@SK I agree with you here. Some of those sports we have been playing for many years. Consider;

Archery - It may not be the best example but PEV revealed we can shoot arrows with precion of a surgeon. Ama you meant Sorcery?
Synchronised swimming -
Equestrian - Dunno what this is but if you meant vegetarian ain't we the best at eating vegetables. we even have a name for it, Sukuma wiki
Fencing - Ati fencing? Are you serious! Which Kenyan can't fence? Heck we are even known to plant Kei-apple fencing on the ocean. Only that we call it grabbing
Shooting - Shooting?! damn only a handful of Iteere's boys are required and we bring home all the medals. We will even shoot dead the referee just to demonstrate how good we are at it.
Gymnastics - Kenyans are known to dodge live bullets as police battle thugs on our street. Even our MPs - Sonko, Waititu can bring home a gold on this


In the meanwhile i'm waiting for the Olympics to begin this Friday. So far the curtain raising has been entertaining!!!

Kudos to our girl. At least she has trailblazed in that field. Her appearance will motivate a number of Kenyans to attempt the sport -and other indoors - in the next olympic.

smh, stop being funny.
Equestrian>>kurukisha farasi places cool cool.
Fencing>>kudungana sindano ndefu.
That's in layman's language.
We can do these things,we just havent explored them.
Natural talent we have,labda doo tu.
Can you imagine how many medals we would bring back home?
