Why kenyans such great athletees?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

The great runners come from a history of a nomadic lifestyle, which meant they were constantly moving, walking long distances, and running long distances. They passed these skills on through the generations, and that's probably why they are now very good at it.

Answer 2

Why barazilian are such a great footballers? nobody can answer.

Answer 3

Although the argument that they come from nomadic background might seem true, i doubt it because most athletes like Catherine Ndereba (3 times Boston marathon champion) who recently also took gold in the world athletic championship in Osaka is not from the nomadic tribes. Why is it that when an African perfects something we have to look at an historical reason for he / she being good at. Let me tell you why Kenyan are great athletes its because they are disciplined, focused and hardworking . They also love what they are doing so lets stop giving historical justifications. They are good from the simple reason, they work hard just like the rest, they just do it better. Simple.

Answer 8

The answers given by some of these readers are strange than fiction.Some of them appear abusive and it is not good at all.We give credit where it is due.Being successful in any field needs alot of effort and determination.Kenyan athletes have been consistetent in the international meetings because of their determination and pure hard work.Training for these meetings is no joke.It needs strength and brains to win.Other reasons that they are nomadic etc is immaterial.Most of our young runners today have never looked after the cattle.They are from urban areas and fresh from school.What time do they have to look after the cattle?
Kenyan athletes are earning from their sweat and anybody insinuating or saying otherwise is being evil and ill advised.Look at their track records since Kenya gained independence and you will see how many times they have raised our flag high.This is no small feat.
