The World Relays in Bahamas had several talking points that got the track world into frenzy mode, one of which is the running kit worn by the Liberian male athletes.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Their men’s 4x100m relay team turned up in a black and white slim strapped vest, different from the acknowledged kits worn by track athletes.
The squad of Akeem Sirleaf, Emmanuel Matadi, Jabex Reeves, and Joseph Fahnbulleh will then make history for their country after a jaw-dropping anchor leg run moved them from fifth position to a National Record (NR) of 38.65s, thus qualifying for their first-ever Olympics in the event.
While Fahnbulleh’s unbelievable run was highly celebrated, their kits also stole the spotlight and garnered several online reactions.
I love those spaghetti straps. Stands out.
