Why Mary Moraa and Zablon Ekwam will not be part of the Kenyan 4 by 400m mixed relay team at Paris Olympics
Mora and Ekwam helped Kenya qualify for the event in Paris, but will not be part of the team at the event.
“I started running when I was in primary school but I never had a mentor to guide me on competing in international competitions. In high school, I started running professionally because I was with somebody who understood sports,” Moraa said.
“Our parents passed away when I was two years old so I was living with my grandfather and grandmother and they too passed away. It was hard for me and my siblings but we got somebody who took us in, looked after us and provided for us and mentored us.”
