A volley-ball of song and dance!

This afternoon at Moi International Sports Centre, both the men's and women's volleyball teams from Afghanistan and Tajikistan took to the courts in an exciting matchup of Central Asian neighbours. The Tajik teams put up a strong performance, winning both their fixtures in two sets.

However, a mutual spirit of celebration was evident after the match, when the teams got together for some lively chatter and photos, and then, together with Kenyan officials and some of the surrounding fans, broke into song and dance. It is becoming apparent that for these athletes, all of whom have travelled long distances from their home countries and many for the first time, the chance to participate at these games alongside each other is itself a real cause for celebration!
