WHY FAITH KIPYEGON IS SO SPECIAL.


 In the history of track and field at the Olympics, Faith Kipyegon is the first woman to achieve a three-peat in the same event. This means winning back-to-back-to-back Olympic titles in the same event. After winning the 1,500 metres race which earned her another medal in the completed Olympics championship, lets take a lok into what makes her special in athletes and history .

 Faith Kipyegon joins Carl Lewis as one of only two track and field athletes to achieve a three-peat in the Olympics in the same event.

 In the 128 years of the Olympics, Faith Kipyegon is the first woman to achieve a three-peat in the same event and win silver in another event.


She is the first woman to achieve a three-peat and also break the Olympic record while winning her third Olympic title.

 Kipyegon is the first woman to win three world titles and three Olympic titles in the same event.

She also joins Usain Bolt as one of the only track and field athletes to have won at least three World Championships and three Olympic titles in the same event.

 Kipyegon is the only track and field athlete to have won four World Championships and three Olympic titles in the same event.

She has become  the first person to win five World Cross Country Championships, three Olympic titles, and four World Championships.

Faith Kipyegon is the first track and field star to win the World Youth Championship, World Junior Championship, Commonwealth Championship, Olympic title, and World Championship in the same event.

We are now reaching the point where an argument can be made that Faith Kipyegon is the greatest woman in the recent history of track and field. She has done it all. Time will tell if she will also join Chebet in 10,000 metres race where she will be looking to make another history and maybe we might see her in marathon just like the way Hellen Obiri transitioned.

               RAILA AND CURSE OF OPPOSITION IN KENYA. There is this one country in the world where no matter how people vote, they will never have an opposition leader. This literally means that the cries and pleas of the minority will have no one to articulate them to the ruling government. That country is..... Oooh, did I just hear you say Kenya ? That's right, the country is Kenya. Since gaining independence in 1963 , the country has never had a serious opposition despite having strong "opposition leaders" over the years. We can only have notable mentions like the Late Martin Shikuku and Keneth Matiba. It's either because of the totalitarian regime or to others reasons only known to the leaders. The  constitution spells out clearly that after the general election, the runners up of the presidential seat shall form the opposition which then will help citizens in keeping the government in check. This has never been the case here. The only time we can feel like the o

 WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF GEN ZS. Yesterday's protests sent out warnings to the tribal kingpins who have been using tribes as a way to lead that come 2027 things will be different. And today was also  the same in Mombasa.  Let's wait for tomorrow where the ''finals'' will be held in Kisumu. The protests were led by the '' Young Kavirondo Tax Payers Association ''  popularly known as  Gen Zs who went out on the streets to protest against the proposed finance bill. This pushed the government to the extent of revising the bill or rather removing the decoy in the form of 16% VAT on bread What I found inspiring about this is that social media plays a big role in the mobilisation of youths. This is a different generation of people who according to them, they know their rights. The worst is to come in 2032 when the Alphas and the Gen Zs come together to create a very courageous force that cannot be bribed with fifty bob. The protests were a blessing to B

 WHY ODM IS JOINING RUTO TO SURVIVE. First, ODM was a national party, with 8 tribal representatives from 8 now scrapped provinces. At coast, it was Najib Balala, now coast is gone, it doesn't belong to ODM. In central, it was Joseph Nyaga, central nologer thinks ODM. In Eastern, it was Charity Ngilu. Eastern went away with Kalonzo. In western, it was Mudavadi, now in government, and western is gone with Ruto. In rift valley, it was Ruto, now president. Gone forever. In Nairobi and Nyanza, Raila roared. He never roars in Nairobi. Even his Nyanza turf is now a shell of the past.  ODM has remained a luo party, and not all Luos ascribe to ODM. That's one reason ODM must join Ruto to survive. And since Ruto helped create ODM, Ruto will finish ODM completely.  ODM has been surviving and reinventing itself through demonstrations. It's leader, Raila Odinga, is the sole force to sermon demonstrations, and religiously, both educated and uneducated, heeds his call and comes ou
