is not only disorganized violence, it's not only terrorism. it's politics. founded over 150 years ago. it's repeatedly died out, but always been resurrected. the ku klux klan starts may 11th on d. w. it's with hello and a one. welcome to the 77 percent. our program for you africa youth. i'm either kimani and this week we have a very special so for you coming to you from l door, it's the whole of champion this week we take a deep dive into the world of sports across the continent. here's what we have for you. we investigate how to tackle corruption in kenyon, sports institutions. marathon legend unable to choke. it tells us the secrets on how to keep your mind on track. and in south africa, we meet the be

a meg for been as of the west of africa has produced some of the greatest names across different sporting disciplines from footballers to basket bowlers. and of course from right here, distance runners. yet the continent continues to grapple with lack of government investment, for example, or growth, mismanagement of teams, and perhaps was of all corruption. it's bosses do sions. what is the continent lagging behind despite the immense and natural talent? well, i spoke to a few people here in kenya to try and answer the question. when webster lucas is getting ready to lived, it looks like he is preparing for war. a battle between himself and an unimaginable 150 kilograms over his head. this is the life of a weight lifter and webster is one of the best in kenya. he was well on his way to

becoming an olympian, but things didn't go quite as planned. i played my body, i should, i showed up in the gym. i poodle dabbled a good, but unfortunately, for example, for my, for the russian, which was supposed to be like, go my link to the scholarship and the olympics of really misappropriated. there's supposed to help me, ended up not making it to the political event and not ending enough points to be able to qualify for that same year. webster was locked out of the olympics. the sports ministry was riddled with corruption scandal that left the former minister facing jill time for misusing olympic funds for webster. the experience was too much forcing him to quit the national team and say good bye to his childhood dream . really like pressing the point where like i was like

yes. so the local mental strain but like i never accident before. and based on that i think i just decided on my boots. so i ended up fighting alone. and unfortunately, to my knowledge like them fires the spots, journalists, but not, don't tell me, webster cases not isolated, that in fact, most kenyon sports people are amateurs, yet all around us are football use leagues, purportedly training, the future styles of africa. so ways a disconnect its elegant, can you find a player playing football stuff like this one, and then you move on to play in professional artificial stuff. you have what it's called culture shock because you're not exposed to such facilities. and that is usually the biggest, biggest, biggest problem when it comes to sports in general because there's no system possibly. and if there's some semblance of our system,

it's really very adult. it's very positive. and you find that if i want to start laying sports at a young age, i want to show about the future. those that do make the cut to compete at international games like the olympics face, a different kind of struggle. photos like these, showing stranded athletes at airports or videos like this one. showing the dilapidated accommodation of elite athletes are not uncommon. the most common complaint, however, is delayed payments or none at all. one person trying to change that is cynthia mumble, under her company's port connect africa. the former basketball player is hoping to create structures that generate profits at multiple points of the ecosystem. all for the benefit of the athlete from buying a form, the owner of the product, what the foreman competent, what behind the scenes, who's creating that? who's selling that form?

who's making sure the experience for you know, the quality is good for, for, for the person who find the exactly the same. the only difference of the biggest difference is dealing with human being. and that's where the value of the fish and company because you must respect, you must respect the fun. everybody else is in the to, for the young players of the v capital basketball camp. it's easy to remain optimistic back at the gym, however, webster, he's not so sure. well, he believes, can you me one day be represented indifference post disciplines at an elite level. he doesn't think that day is coming any time soon. at the beginning of 2022, the current government directed all spots, federations and officials to prioritize mental health in their programs. now, while kenya continues to produce some of the best distance runners, sports in this country has been grappling with cases of sexual harassment,

mental health, and even, and unfortunately, gender based violence. well, i had the pleasure of sitting down and you can show gay, arguably the world's greatest marathon runner to see what can be done about this. i also had a chance to ask some of the cuff questions and his answers. they might surprise you . the press called him goat, which was short for the greatest of all time. and marathon runner elliott keep sugar, indeed, defies human standard. especially since the kenyan broke records in vienna in 2019 . as the 1st human in history keep ciocca broke the to our barrier at an astonishing average pace of completing one kilometer in 2 minutes. 50 seconds. in 2021. he won his 2nd olympic gold medal. but that's still not enough. now it's $37.00. keep troia dreams about winning all 6 abbot world. marathon major. but who's the person behind the world famous athlete?

where does he get his unbreakable mental strength from? we wanted to find out and travel to his farm near elder it an exclusive private moment with elliott keep chuck. yeah. it's a very big form. it's very beautiful. no, you don't plan on retired simply. no, ma'am. no, but though not yet, but they both, but before at all in all, over the phone. so we all will eventually here, but you won't stop running, i'm guessing maybe not competing or not. so from here. yes. how many years has it been now? it's, it's a been in senior, this is the 18th year. when you see everything that you've accomplished, surely you must feel very proud of yourself. oh, so i'm proud of myself. i am proud of those who are kalu herb in, in, in, in my, my surrounding the co term are career could tear piano. yeah, that's actually what i wanted. talk about the people who are around you and how you

are able to keep a very strong mind despite all the challenges. so is it okay for go sit in your bun? i saw some haystacks to dubia going to take you back to earth and put you in haystacks. ok, no. okay. it's good athletes in particular and do a lot of stress and pressure. they have mental challenges, which they sometimes don't talk to people about here in our country last year. 3 greets athletes, unfortunately, losing their lives. how would you assess the state's own spots, men and women, their mental health, particularly in kenya right now. i think i could a distress with good sports men and women natalie's is increasing. anderson fortunate but tow it to sir, laverne. it's a, it's a, it's a satisfy loper of leaving would have been surrounded by negative people. have you ever found yourself in that situation where you were experiencing these high levels

of stress? and if so, how did you deal with it? i have been surrounded for the dinner for the last year. the nurse would been boston, people for tuck jolene in sport, and i'll take the sport. so i think now my lucky one, i've been ok lou barbara barbara following. now, that ain't her fellows are not in the file. you are clearly myself with a call which i can't live without it. i hope things will take and die with those things are, what are these values that you see? you know, they're so important to you that you actually country without them. therefore, you are colonial for integrity in sport. what they mean by integrity is crater to quarter, the next to mile carried to face and had been wound in, in your life, to find you of the family to find yourself discipline, the failure of consistency. so i can live without, without those values, then there is no age. so who are these people that have surrounded yourself with will you see, you know that the ones who called you together when things are a bit shaky? oh, i'm surrounded by my a coach, but jackson am getting older,

fellows, am cortina. what's needed from him? as far as steven know, leaving his cancer? yeah, yes. can you tell me maybe some of the, the key points that sir, he is his taught you over the years that you've been with him a long time is that you the 1st of a boy in his trust and myself. o 2 to myself as that is to one leading openness to life. those are 3 points or colutus, which he told me that when i was still young. yeah, i guess i'm trying to understand how you manage to control your emotions. so well, because he said in previous interviews, a discipline is one of the ways to do that. is this the only way because you're very tempered, i understand life, no, no in this world so. so you need to understand life and anything comes in no way in a negative, we need to understand who was they see where they to slave, then there's a challenge. so how do you deal with some of these challenges or how have you dealt

with them in the past? because, you know, at least get injured all the time physically. and they can imagine that causes a lot of pressure losing a run that doesn't feel nice, not having a good training day. maybe you're just feeling off here at those. all of them are challenges. if you don't are, if you don't feel of the best to introduce them to morrison both 3rd school to to have the worst of training and dirty but, but finished a training with can give her would, can give my, i can keep myself, i'll call you my man to come quasi when you buy it, was it the training was a little faithful, but i finished. yeah, that's wonderful. and how would you advise, you know, these young professionals, i'm sure you run with them here all the time. they must see you on the streets and want to give you a high 5 and want to get your autograph. how do you advise them to face the challenges of to day because young people are grappling with the lots? are you new to the sure that you are really proficient? north of your professional is just your building, your career, your respect,

your profession, allison, you walk actually, and respect your ethics or hope, all of your prov chanel. since all is somebody who's kelley of failure, he under parson, it's easy to manage it. so is it to instill anything on to him stealing a busty boy, but to run with him stealing a thing negative because of value? he saw e e. e, or she's a family oriented man, homer, you cannot actually persuade him or her in a negative way. and i really love that you keep coming back to this whole idea of values and i think i'm finally getting it that if you stand for something, then it's hard for people to put their own evils in you. in a sense, when you think about your future at the moment because you're a man who has accomplished everything in your career at this point, oh, what do you visualize o, o denying? visualizing that, so i need to my co or country around and country and all neural around. and one of

the full color tall for color if it's in the sport. and i still am still unclear to perform, to inspire the next generation and, and, and, and, and, and, and tell dan people that took leave you'll, if you say years in your heart and transfer to your mind, i'm sitting more than you can throw them all to lot, that's about any other profession doctor will need to book a little specter proficient will need people to do in 1st thing themselves. and in 1st in their, in their families, their friends, their neighbors that saw them on. but that's worth in my it says my bagley's here. that's a very busy bucket list. so how do you plan on making us are running nation? we're running world because it's one thing to be inspired by you, but it's another thing to wake up in the morning and run yourself. m turn. tell people that's all for for you to anything you can spare your 30 minutes. sandra. what about stragglers? see, the, they don't have time,

it's too busy the schedule. what do you say to that? there is, nobody was pissing this one. that is not us once, really pissing this one. there is our responsibility, but not responsibilities. there to stand private. you just need to make time for it . yes. here and stick with a time. now that's an interview that i'm sure i will not be forgetting. and speaking of memories, i grew up riding bike flow. maybe not quite as big as that one. but you know what i mean? and it was one of our play time. often we came back home, so dusty and we punctured tires. but trust me, maneuvers weren't nowhere close to what these young south africans are up to. they're part of a growing be a mix culture that was born in so little showcasing a very cool and unique cycling style. pinning like the big one. it's a way to racing waving and spinning is not just the sports for more to the usual way to taking the form to a new level on to their own custom me bikes. when we can some way to write as

a taking over the st. the township is home to a thriving liking culture. the king discipline is painting and mac quickly. a mckesson is unrivalled of the. when i spend my bicycle, it's like getting into a trance. there is a demon inside me and i change from being my quick way to my case. 4 years ago, my cache is the fast double, like an extra long, be a mixed bike, with plastic bottles around the bluff will. it's perfectly seeming and a lot of quick, quick pain and admiration. i'll put you in by a close my case. ready because you might be, the team of one came to interesting us to see where was side by costs pinning. i'm also caught that involved driving cars a speed in circles to perform stance and finish read. you need to do the 1980 the

process so tough because gangs to culture young men from the township expensive cars in well of how about if the high school successful, the saucy was hurried back home until the tires. but since then, winning has evolved into a popular so subsequent mortal sport. and the youth is really pick up on this equally important to the ceiling skewed other nooks of the bikes, which a custom built and pinged to the custom made bicycle modified me, one for food chains and pegs. however, come with a price tag and a lot of sacrifice. we would fix other people's bikes and charge them. but we are also hooking up events, mixing up with other cyclists and helping each other. because with parents, it's tough. they don't give you money, just a bike, because for them this is no korea buckle. mclaughlin gets his black lady for special event to cos peanuts have invited him for a joint spin on the road. they have heard of a quick, quick,

double bike and got to meet up and spin together. lady dudley races, her car into a street corner and start the show. moments later, i'll quickly joins her in a dare devil me the to spin as a looking to host events together, but wants to check out fast how people on the street like this on the calendar in the con, you know what i mean? and we do a lot more damage than the bad, bad like he brings on the so you heard the people really, whatever you read it was that was the main thing was, was double bikes. spread all of us a way to, and neighboring townships for him. and others, the bike has become an instrument to express their freedom and creativity and laid the foundation for the new bikes of culture. he was old mean the wild to quickly.

he lost his parents a few years ago and stopped going to school. he now saved with his on when i started with my mother was very supportive before she passed away, she would have been proud of me because i have an impact in spinning. and i'm also teaching others how to spin. you know, lots of people are following me. so my mother would have been very proud to work with passion is not without its hazard. faith of him having to with the injured, when they collided with passing cars, some have even died. make this what's most the writers also lit up as a venue without cause and suffolk look. a part of me really wants to try that, but perhaps not before. sand boarding now, sand boarding is, is extreme sports, which is very similar to snowboarding. actually it involves riding across or down a sand dune. and what better place to try that than only be not here. perhaps one

of the world's largest sun deals in namibia. i think, yeah. oh, it's fun. it's fast. it's messy. sand boarding is growing in popularity and the sport is about to step into the shoes of its big brothers surfing and snowboarding . championships like this one held in eco peru in 2019, bring together prose and fans from around the world. but san boarding also has a hope in africa. now maybe as a smoker, moon is a prime location for the adrenaline field sport. and some locals want to make swap of a sand boarding paradise with some of the world's biggest sand is located here. sand boarding has become a source of income for many, like blanket po for 1st was behind it. but then eventually after dead it gets easy. blank or takes tourists up the sand dunes on most days,

telling them to hang in there. but walking a 150 meters in height is a strenuous form of exercise. never mind that under the hot namibian sun, you still have to wear winter boots and carry heavy snow boards to enjoy your moment of glory. and they are no alternatives. blanco and his crew have to use winter sports gear from europe to fit their purpose. for blanco's friend, ravin nelly is improvising a rep, and before each right, he also make sure the boards all up to scratch literally. it turns out waxing, is extremely important for a smooth ride. we got it always before a dried, make sure we apply some cobra x polish like that on before it dries some sand on it works of douglas to maggie works on vector few years ago. sand boarding was considered a serious sport. there was even

a south african league holding regular contests in these very dues. the organisation, however collapsed and st boarding, for the most part, became only a tourist attraction at last year. wasn't exactly grateful business either because of coven 19 restrictions, but revenue li keeps coming back in voting room and me and my mom was here. we set up his meals and boarding team and also using the we bring doors out here. instruct them on how to resemble. we got the best of both worlds. we got the dunes right hand is right across the highway. we've got the ocean. so freeman, free spirit, ravenel and his friends are looking forward to teaching many future visitors. how to move about on a board, and who knows? maybe one day there will be another championship in these beautiful do let's bring you back here in kenya, where we meet a man like no other. are you a lulu muscle trains, cox to fight? yet you heard that right?

cock fighting is actually a big part of a culture gain western kenya. but the traditional sport is losing popularity as modernization takes over aspects of rural african life. massapequa is, however, determined to keep the old spot alive, training his champions with the help of his children. as a mom ready for a fight, a you a loo. mosacco. if the king of cock fighting, he's famous in his home reach and coming to a county in western kenya. but before he heads to the ring a you've checks his history to see if it's working. cock fighting here is nothing without this instrument shrinking in the background. 6 cock fighting is embedded in the culture of kenneth new york community. the sport has been passed down from one generation to the next. and i use a lu once his children to keep his legacy alive. drago, when my kids grow old like them to be proud of the culture to know that it is paid for the education. they should not just be seeing news until you're reading

newspapers about their dog. they should know the what part of the culture from the what go on the actively participated. they used to sing and dance, just like you've seen this kids don't all of them from the young to the old world to struggle quietly like any family business. every one has a role to play. the young girls entertain spectators while the older boys take care of the cockles and daughter molded malesky regaled every one with the rosella. i started playing with him when i was so young, i can't even remember my age, but my mom was still alive at that time we were playing with him. we were go to most of the functions and he would train me how to play so that when we have something like this, we're was ela. he would tell me this is how we blow it. so i started getting the skills bit by bitch, been progressive, and right now i know how to play several other instruments and i'm so happy i did it. but as soon as the match starts, the only thing that matters is the playing field. a little is the reverie. he keeps

a close eye on the cocoa and sometimes that's in a thing thought get into harry for i lou lou, this is more than entertainment. it's how he earns with living every time i see my dad stayed cockfighting matches, i feel so happy because it means that we are able to go to school, eat our personal needs, met at home. and every activity that we do is from him like her siblings, mildred knows full well what her father's work has done for the family. she wishes the cock, crowding culture was appreciated. more like many other traditions is at risk of extinction. i pray that as the days go by, he will get some one who can promote him, put him up there and not below the cock, fighting as a bad rap among animal rights activists. and for good reason. but

a lunar doesn't want his animals to get hurt. after a few minutes of clacking beaks and a few last feathers, one of the cockles simply walks away. eleanor hoist the champion into the air. he might be the only one of his kind, but he's hopeful the tradition will live on through future generations. and that's all we have for you today. do let us know what you think. remember, you can always get in touch with us, buy a facebook, instagram or even youtube. we want to get the conversation going on top. it's an important to you. thank you so much for watching. i'm here with you money coming to you from this great town of el dorado and we'll leave you now with the music in a
