Ep. 19 Olympics scorecard - East Africa, home of champions
Manage episode 436476031 series 3571425
Whether you're a fan of the Olympics, a runner - or just someone like me who loves Africa - episode 19 is for you.
First off, a massive congratulations to everyone who participated in Paris 2024 - what an event it’s been!
Today, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of East African athletes and give a special shout-out to the 12 African countries that brought home medals, with Kenya leading the way in athletics, and Uganda making its mark with two well-deserved medals.
- What are the unique factors that make Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda "the home of champions"?
- Behind the medals: I discuss the challenges faced by East African athletes. The lack of financial support makes their achievements even more inspiring.
- I’ve run all over Africa. And if - like me - the Olympics have inspired you, listen closely: I have some fantastic marathon and high altitude running ideas in East Africa that you won’t want to miss.
Join me, Charlotte Beauvoisin, author of Diary of a Muzungu, as I lace up my running shoes for a short loop around East Africa.
Welcome to my world!
Tune in every week to The East Africa Travel Podcast for the dawn chorus, travel advice, chats with award-winning conservationists, safari guides, birders, lodge owners (and wacky guidebook writers).
