Tragedy for Kenyan Olympic team

Kenya’s first Olympic rowing team has suffered a tragic blow ahead of the Athens Games with the death of head coach Senior Sergeant Juvenalis Gitau.

Father-of-two Gitau was killed in a car accident just a day before the team was scheduled to depart for Greece.

Gitau had been coaching single sculler Ibrahim Githaiga, who will be the first Kenyan rower to compete in an Olympics.
