am a Ugandan this guy is putting Uganda on a Map than our inside Political issues/fights

Olympic champion Stephen Kiprotich added to his medal haul by beating Ethiopia's Lelisa Desisa and Tadese Tola in the men's marathon.
The Ugandan led with two kilometres remaining, despite heavy pressure, and went on to enter the Luzhniki Stadium 30 seconds ahead of his nearest rival.
His time of two hours, nine minutes and 51 seconds was 21 seconds clear of Desisa in second and Tola in third.

Analysis

"What a performance from Kiprotich. He has been strong again, when it counted most. He's weaved his way at times to win the gold medal. He is the champion - a superb performance."
No Kenyans were in the top three for the first time since 2005.
