⏳ 2 weeks to go until #AfricaForward Summit
As the countdown continues, on today's 🎙️ Sauti za Africa Forward segment, we spotlight voices shaping the future of Africa–France partnerships; this time through the lens of sports, a powerful driver of unity, opportunity and global connection. 🏃🏽♂️🌍
As Kenya celebrates a record-breaking week 🇰🇪, with athletes like Sabastian Sawe leading the charge, we spotlight one of the legends who set the pace for generations.
Today we feature @TergatP, former marathon record holder, Olympic medalist and member of the International Olympic Committee @iocmedia. As a true icon of Kenyan athletics spirit, Tergat reflects on his journey competing in France and how those experiences helped shape his career on the global stage 🇰🇪🇫🇷
In this video, he highlights the growing sports cooperation between Kenya and France, including the partnership between Miramas and @ElgeyoMarakwetC, which enabled Kenyan athletes to train and acclimatise ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
At a time when finding suitable training conditions was a real challenge, such partnerships proved critical, supporting Kenyan athletes to prepare effectively and ultimately perform at their best. 🥇
For Tergat, the Africa Forward Summit represents a new chapter in Africa–France relations...One where sports takes its rightful place as a pillar of cooperation, opening up opportunities for investment, youth engagement, and stronger links between ecosystems across both continents🤝
More than a competition, sports becomes a catalyst: for partnerships, for talent development, and for mobilising both public and private actors toward a shared vision.
🎥 Skia sauti ya Paul Tergat on how sports can shape the future of Africa–France collaboration and create new opportunities for the next generation.
📣 Stay tuned… the conversation continues as we count down to May 11–12

Sabastian Sawe didn't break the 2-hour marathon barrier just because of the Adidas "supershoe." He's a damn good athlete. These East Africans all are.
I had to tell the whole world on CNN. Everyone be guided. Thanks for your attention to this matter!
