Team Kenya captain Mercy Moim has tipped the Tokyo-bound contigent to rise above complications occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic and charge effectively for medals at the forthcoming Games. Moim made the remarks during an exclusive interview with the Star on the sidelines of the "Stakeholders Engagement Workshop For Team Kenya Women Athletes" at a Nairobi hotel on Thursday. Moim said the inclusion of the Brazilian coaches in the technical bench had refined Malkia Strikers and made them more competitive. “It's incredible that when the rest of the corporate world appears to be scaling back, EABL has shown a big heart to sponsor Team Kenya," added Wacuka. Ann Joy Michira, Head of Marketing Beers, East African Breweries Limited called on Team Kenya members to make the country proud with a medal swoop, adding it was impressive that Kenya was now in a position to deploy female boxers to the coveted Games.
