  • In Africa, a village in Kenya is nicknamed the Home of Champions because it produces an astonishing number of Olympic athletes. This place is called Iten, and if you watched any marathon runner winning a bronze, silver, or gold medal, there is a high chance that this person has been training here! So, I wandered around Iten, Kenya, to find out what is so special about this African village...

      When i saw the thumbnail i thought that was Mo honestly. The guy really looks like him. I said to myself Ponte loves this village but later after watching i realized ot was someone else. Ponte you love Kenya too much. Try west Africa also.

    Until this video, I never heard of Iten, Kenya. A rather interesting and educational video. Nice job Michele! Iten is my kind of living. A small town that is not polluted with airborne contaminants, or loud with excessive traffic. You’ll also find in smaller towns, people are more apt to help once another out when issues arise. Thanks to you, I now know where the dedicated runners in Africa go to train. Wishing you the best, and I see your are within striking range of obtaining 100,000 subscribers! Yes, yes, yes! 🙏
