Kenya's National Olympic Committee has confirmed its readiness and commitment to assisting Team Kenya to achieve stellar results at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
The committee has stated that it will send a large delegation to the quadrennial games to win many medals.
During this year's annual general meeting, NOC-K Secretary General Francis Mutuku stated that Kenya wants to set a record by winning as many medals as possible at the Olympics.
"Everyone's dream, wish, and aspiration is to participate in the Olympics.
"However, when you are seated where we are, where there are minimal resources, then you have to dig a little bit more and find out who the people are that we can give resources to.
"Therefore, we gave grants to two teams, that is the volleyball women's team and the women 3x3 basketball team," Said Mutuku.
Mutuku also stated that all sports federations would hold national trials on time to select the national squad to join the camp and begin Olympic training.
"We have a technical team to look at the prospects of teams based on rankings and the performance and I believe that will assist us in coming up with a formidable squad." Mutuku also contributed.
His sentiments were echoed by NOC-K president Paul Tergat, who stated the organization's goal of elevating all sports in the country.
"We have been holding training sessions in various sports administrations over the years as part of our endeavor to enhance governance practice within our federations." Said Tergat.
The 2024 Summer Olympics are an upcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to take place in France from July 26 to August 11, 2024, with Paris as the central host city and 16 other cities spread across metropolitan France, plus one subsite in Tahiti—an island within French Polynesia, a French overseas country and overseas collectivity.
