Wycliffe Kinyamal: Commonwealth Games champion explains why he had doubts qualifying for Olympic Games
Wycliffe Kinyamal has opened up about how he initially thought he was not the right fit for making the Olympic team but miraculously punched his ticket after finishing second at the Kenyan Olympic trials.
He believes that being an Olympian, even without a medal, is always a great honour.
“I always just here that the Olympic Games are a huge thing but, in my mind, I want to be the best. I can’t say that being an Olympian is one of the greatest things,” he said.
“I don’t know what the Olympics is all about but I know people who have been there are special but I can’t brag about it since there are many people who are Olympians.”
