 Kenya Plans to Make Bid for 2016 Olympics NAIROBI, Kenya - Kenya plans to bid for the 2016 Olympics and bring the games to Africa for the first time.
"If Mexico could host it in 1968, and it was a poor country, why can't we?" Sports Minister Ochillo Ayacko said Thursday. "We are serious about sports. We're actually an Olympic tiger in the making. Participation includes hosting."
Kenya has dominated the long-distance track events at the Olympics since the 1970s.
On Tuesday, International Olympic Committee (news - web sites) president Jacque Rogge urged African nations to bid for the 2016 Olympics, saying he hoped the games can go "as soon as possible" to the continent.
Full Story!
