ChumoKiprugut won Kenya’s first medal in Tokyo in the 800m race in 1964.
“Mzee Chumo was a trailblazer that opened the way for our athletes and country to establish the rich tradition and status within the Olympic Movement of Kenya’s athletic and sporting prowess.”
President Dr. Tergat and NOC-K join the family and the rest of the sporting fraternity in mourning this great athlete and pray for God’s comfort and strength to bear.
