Qualche spunto per capire cosa c’è dietro al “solito keniano che vince sempre le maratone”.
A me in particolare colpisce una frase del campione del mondo Kirui:
Kirui has forsaken his spacious home in Kapsabet for the one-bedroom apartment he and Maiyo share in Iten. It stands in stark contrast to the fancy training centers in the United States and Europe. “The fans and the spectators want to see results, not a nice house,” he says. “In training I must be serious and leave the luxuries for when I finish running. If I am in luxury now, my performance will reduce.“
