"content": "One of my happiest and proudest moments as a Kenyan was in 1988 when the Kenyan team came back from the Seoul Olympics with five gold medals. This City came to a standstill the day Paul Ereng won the gold medal in the 800 metres race. There were no mobile phones at that time and I remember us queuing at a telephone booth at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) trying to call the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) which was then known as the âVoice of Kenya (VoK)â just to congratulate Mr. Paul Ereng. Mr. Kariuki won the gold in the 3,000 steeplechase race while Peter Rono won gold in the 1,500 metres. John Ngugi won gold in the 5,000 metres race. When the late Wangila Napunyi won the only gold medal in a non-track event, this country virtually came to a standstill. It was great joy the following year when William Tanui won a gold medal in Barcelona. I was watching the race on my 14-inch black and white television and I almost pushed the guy to win because it was really a dash for the finish."
