    🏆🏆Amazing performance! 🏆🏆 Kenyan athlete Conseslus Kipruto lost his shoe soon after the start of his Diamond League 3000m steeplechase final but still went on to win in a sprint finish. "I have big pain," Kipruto said afterwards. https://bbc.in/2C4Ryfg pic.twitter.com/VYTPODjCIR

        This single act of defiance and courage under fire is a reminder and an example we #Africans can use to prove: it just takes a will to accomplish our greatness.
