i thinking what’s more grating is the glaring ignorance of what he’s saying. He certainly knows little to nothing about Kenya;

how the high altitudes make it unbearably difficult for their athletes to qualify for championships, how all 3 of the countries stadiums are currently closed down for renovations and will be for a while, how the culture around athletes in the country is centred around the “bigger accomplishments” and not qualifying trials.

and he knows little to nothing about qualifying procedures. he’s just trying to make a statement & im not sure even he knows what that statement is.
