    "content": "We say this because this is a home of world record holders. David Rudisha in 2012 made this country extremely proud by breaking the 800 metres record which he still holds up to now. We have many Kenyans who have world records that are rarely recognised. Moses Kiptanui held a world record for a long time until later when it was broken by Stephen Cherono. We have so many athletes in this country. We have athletes like Lawrence Cherono who won the Chicago Marathon. In Doha, those who won gold medals were Beatrice Chepkoech in 3,000 metres steeplechase; Conseslus Kipruto in 3,000 metres steeplechase; Hellen Obiri in 5,000 metres; Timothy Cheruiyot in 1,500 metres; and, Ruth Chepngetich in the women’s marathon. Ruth Chepngetich ran that marathon under very difficult conditions and won. We have others like Margaret Jelimo and Faith Kipyegon who got silver medals. Agnes Tirop, Ferguson Rotich, Rhonex Kipruto and Amos Kipruto won bronze medals. These are some of the Kenyans who make this country proud every weekend. I schooled with some of them. Some are my neighbours and I represent them. You just need to go and live in Eldoret or Iten to recognise who these world champions are. You will find a simple person jogging along the roads of Iten. They are humble and live simple lives."
