Munori flies over the ice. “An unusual feeling,” he says, holding onto one leg and slipping forward. “Everything needs to be learned anew.” He whirls around the court while the rest of the players warm up. "At least it's not as cold here as I thought." Indeed, somehow you forget that the equator is 140 km away. In the hall you can hear the screech of skates and the echo from strikes in the boards. On the walls are painted people of different skin colors, skating in the mountains against the backdrop of a calm sky. It is the only ice rink in eastern and central Africa. Every Wednesday there are Kenya Hockey League matches.
Most modern sports in Kenya are the fruits of British colonization. Professional teams in the form of clubs were formed by colonial British settlers and Asian contractors in 1922, before the appearance of official schools. Sport was introduced in schools in 1925. The program of training for sport, physical training in schools (extracurricular activities) were established in 1935. Football and athletics were the first sports organized on a professional level.

Re: Sports in Kenya
As far as I know, there is only one ice rink in Kenya. He is at some hotel in the capital. The newly created hockey team is training there. Kogzha was a bobsled film. They showed a team from Jamaica. Let's hope that the Kenya hockey team will have more success
