I Love My Tribe, The

When I Was A Little Boy, I Always Wanted To Run. I Loved Competing With My Friends.

I Missed The Final Of The World Championships In 2009, But I Told The Coach I Would Break The World Record In 2010. Which I Did. Then In 2011 I Won The World Championships And Now In 2012 It Is The Olympics. That Is How I Have Been Working.

The Olympics Is A Special Event And Winning Is Very Important. For Me As A World Record Holder And World Champion, The Only Thing I Am Missing Is The Olympic Gold Medal And That Is What I Want To Achieve In My Career.

I Was Ready In 2008 For The Olympic Games But Unfortunately I Missed The Kenyan Trials With A Thigh Injury. I Watched Those Olympics But It Was Tough To Watch. But It Was Good In The End Because A Kenyan, Wilfred Bungei, Was The Champion.

Going To The Olympics As A Maasai I Want To Make Them Proud Because, After The Warm Welcome They Gave Me When I Went Back And Being Their Leader, I Want To Also Be The Warrior In The Olympics. That Will Be Something Good Because That Will Be The First Olympic Gold Medal For The Maasai.
