DOHA, Qatar, May 5 – Kenya’s deputy ambassador to
Qatar Washington Oloo has encouraged Team Kenya
for the ongoing Deaflympics to aim for nothing short of gold.
Oloo was speaking at the Hamad International Airport in
Doha when he paid a courtesy call to the team of 20,
who were on transit to Caxias do Sul, Brazil to join the
rest of the delegation participating in the games.
The team was accorded a VIP treatment at the Doha
Embassy lounge as they waited for their 3 Hours

“As Kenyans we aim nothing less than gold, we all agree
that, you go compete well, we are praying for you that
you represent our country well,” Oloo urged the team.
“During the 2019 World Athletics Championships held
here in Doha, Kenya performed exemplary well, and
people here in Doha love Kenyan athletes, we are
looking forward to receiving you with more gold medals,
we wish you all the best in Deaflympics and we will be
cheering you on,” Oloo said.
The team that includes Team Doctors and Team
Managers are the last batch to depart after golfers who
were led by star Isaac Makoha.
With Qatar set to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup in
December, Ambassador Oloo said that a lot of Kenyans
have expressed interest to come watch live the global
extravaganza.
“I wish our very own Harambee Stars was playing in the
World Cup but it’s a good experience for us Kenyans to
lean, so I am hoping that some of the players will get a
chance to view the matches,” Oloo added.
