'We don't feel like Kenyans'

Sport Today

Available for over a year

A tearful Hanah Ngendo Mwangi talks about her shattered dreams after being forced to abandon her plans to compete at the IPC World Athletics Championships. No Kenyans will be in Doha after the government pulled funding at the last moment. Mwangi, a visually impaired sprinter, says she "cried and cried and cried" when she heard the news. She also complained about the lack of equality in Kenya, given that there was plenty of backing for Kenya's able-bodied athletes, who finished top of the medals table at the World Championships in Beijing earlier this year.
