It’s an interesting statistic. From 1956 to 2016, Kenya has won 103 medals at the Olympic Games in boxing, track and field events –with 42 medals from 2008, 2012 and 2016 outings.

But Kenya has not won Olympic women’s 10,000m gold medal and basks in one men’s 10,000m gold medal won by the late Naftali Temu in 1968.
