The first IAAF World Under 18 Championships in Kenya has been a GREAT success, Kenyans broke the record of the highest attendance ever in World Under 18 Championships.

Several celebrities and politicians commended Kenyans for turning up in huge numbers at Kasarani stadium to witness the international sporting event.

David Rudisha was among the celebs that were in attendance at Kasarani stadium, he also praised Kenyans for filling the seats at the stadium.

“I upload Kenyans for breaking the record of the highest attendance ever in #wu18Nairobi2017 #50,000! Amazing Kenyan spirit in athletics,” David Rudisha tweeted.
