Speaker","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Hon. Members, as you are aware, Kenya has been participating in the Olympic Games since 1956 and has sent athletes to compete in various disciplines over the years. Most recently, Kenya took part in the just concluded 2024 Paris Olympics. Hon. Members, the sterling performance by the Kenyan athletes at the 2024 Paris Olympics was an improvement from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, with the athletes having garnered a total of 11 medals consisting of four gold medals, two silver medals and five bronze medals in total. Their achievement, Hon. Members, has earned the country the 17th position among over 180 nations, and also topped the list of African countries that participated. They have demonstrated the possibility of setting world records, and we celebrate their tenacity and dedication. Hon. Members, it is worth noting that Ms Faith Kipyegon, who was also the team captain, made history by becoming the first athlete to win three consecutive Olympic gold medals in the 1,500-metre race. No other human, male or female has achieved that success."},{"id":1463687,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1463687/?format=json","text_counter":22,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
