Kenya's Malkia Strikers, fresh from a positive showing at the recently concluded Tokyo Olympic Games will be out to reclaim the title from defending champions Cameroon who are leaving nothing to chance as they go in pursuit of a successful title defense.
Wisa, who graduated this past week from the Mount Kenya University with a Bachelor of Commerce Degree in Accounting spoke to Michezo Afrika, saying, “our playing days are limited and can be brought to an abrupt halt due to age, illness, injury or situations such as COVID-19 which really affected the whole world. Getting an education will cushion you for life beyond sport.
The Malkia Strikers went down in sets of 25-10, 25-16 and 25-8 to finish bottom in Pool A in what was their first appearance at the games since back to back appearances in 2000 and 2004.
Making a return to the games for the first time since back to back appearances in 2000 in Sydney, Australia and 2004 in Athens, Greece, the team has put up spirited performances in each of their outings to date, and will certainly be leaving Tokyo with their heads held high, knowing that they showcased their skill and ability to the global stage.
