“It’s sad we had to experience such a traumatic thing for us to start the Women’s Athletics Alliance,” says Ngugi.
That’s not necessarily her coach – nor her training partners – but a much younger group of runners who have started frequenting Ngugi’s athletics track in the Kenyan town of Nyahururu. After launching Nala Track Club several weeks ago, which she believes is the first all-girls athletics club in Kenya, Ngugi has found added fuel for her own training. “[When] these girls are looking up at me, there’s no way I’m going to give up,” she tells CNN Sport.
In another part of the report, a survey of 486 female Kenyan athletes revealed that 11% of respondents said they had experienced sexual, physical and emotional abuse, while 57% of those said they had received such abuse on more than 10 occasions. Ngugi says incidents of abuse are a product of the unhealthy level of power male coaches wield over young female athletes.
