Join Lilly as she engages in conversation with Mark Otieno Odhiambo, one of Kenya's top sprinters. In this episode, they explore his challenging journey back to running following a three-year ban due to an unintended violation at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. They delve into the complexities of being an international athlete, the rigorous guidelines they must adhere to, and the intense pressure that comes with high-performance sports. Mark shares not only his personal battle during the ban - but how the unwavering support from his community and his wife carried him through. Finally, Mark discusses his aspirations and preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics now that his ban is lifted and the track beckons him once again.
