Though almost predictable and with a one tactical approach, Emmanuel Wanyonyi will be remembered for being the only Kenyan man to win a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
All the other Kenyan male athletes either won a silver or bronze medal at the Games that ended at the Stade de France yesterday.
Double gold medallist Beatrice Chebet (5,000m and 10,000m) and triple 1500m champion Faith Kipyegon were the other athletes who ensured the Kenyan national anthem was belted in the city of love.
Save for the final, the 20-year-old world silver medallist used the same tactic of leading from gun to tape to win all his 800m races at biggest stage of all on his debut in the French capital.
