Kenya is the second-most successful country in the history of the World Athletics Championships, but none of its 72 gold medals have been won on home soil. But in 2029, the tournament will head to Nairobi – and Africa – for the first time in its history. <\/p>\n
More than the Score’s Lee James talks to BBC Africa’s Celestine Karoney and former Boston and Los Angeles Marathon winner Wesley Korir about the years of work that have gone into bringing the Championships to Kenya, from developing infrastructure to lessons learned from other major sporting events – including the Africa Cup of Nations. <\/p>\n
Will this be a tournament that connects with Kenya’s huge and passionate athletics fanbase, and what could its wider significance be for the country? Plus, with so many current champions hailing from Africa, what does it mean to them for one of the sport’s biggest occasions to finally be held on the continent?<\/p>\n
