Serem arejesha nyota ya Kenya Michezo ya Madola
KENYA imepata sababu mpya ya kuamini kuwa inaweza kurejesha ubabe wake katika mbio za mita 3000 kuruka viunzi kwa wanaume baada ya ushindi wa kuvutia kwenye Michezo ya Jumuiya ya Madola jijini Glasgow, Scotland. Edmund Serem, mwenye umri wa miaka 18 na mshindi wa medali ya shaba katika Riadha za Dunia 2025, aliiongoza Kenya kutwaa nafasi zote tatu za juu mbele ya bingwa wa dunia Geordie Beamish wa New Zealand. Serem alishinda kwa muda wa dakika 8:18.23, Simon Koech alimaliza wa pili huku Leonard Bett akifunga ushindi wa Kenya kwa nafasi ya tatu baada ya kurejea kutoka wakati mgumu wa majeraha. Kwa Serem, ushindi huo ulikuwa zaidi ya medali ya dhahabu. Alisema alifurahia kuletea familia yake na Wakenya wote fahari. Alifichua kuwa baba yake, Joseph Serem, ambaye pia ni kocha wake wa kwanza, alimpa motisha kubwa kupitia simu nyingi na ujumbe wa kumtia moyo kabla ya mbio. Ujumbe wa mwisho wa baba yake ulikuwa: "Nenda mwanangu, endelea. Nakupenda." Maneno hayo yalimbeba hadi ushindi. Hii ni mara ya sita kwa Kenya kutwaa nafasi zote tatu katika mbio hizi kwenye Michezo ya Jumuiya ya Madola. Tangu Ben Jipcho alipoanza historia hiyo mwaka 1974, Kenya imeendelea kutawala mbio za kuruka viunzi, ikishinda taji hilo mara 11 kupitia wanariadha mashuhuri kama Henry Rono, Ezekiel Kemboi, Richard Mateelong na Abraham Kibiwot. Ingawa Ethiopia na Morocco hazikushiriki mashindano haya, ushindi wa Serem una uzito mkubwa kwani alimpiku bingwa wa dunia Beamish kwa tofauti kubwa ya sekunde saba. Kenya bado ndilo taifa lililofanikiwa zaidi katika mbio hizi kwenye Mashindano ya Dunia ikiwa na medali 13 za dhahabu, lakini imekuwa katika kipindi cha ukame tangu Conseslus Kipruto alipotwaa taji lake la pili mwaka 2019. Mwaka 2025, Beamish aliandika historia kwa kutwaa ubingwa wa dunia mbele ya Soufianne El Bakkali. Hata hivyo, Serem alitoa dalili za mafanikio kwa kushinda medali ya shaba katika mashindano hayo akiwa na miaka 17 pekee, akionyesha uwezo wa kushindana na wanariadha bora duniani. Maendeleo yake yamekuwa ya haraka. Mwaka 2024 alitwaa dhahabu ya Dunia kwa wanariadha chini ya miaka 20. Mwaka 2025 akashinda shaba ya Dunia katika msimu wake wa kwanza wa wakubwa, na sasa mwaka 2026 ametwaa ubingwa wa Jumuiya ya Madola baada ya kumshinda bingwa wa dunia anayetawala. Safari ya Serem inaonyesha Kenya inaweza kuwa imepata mrithi wa nyota waliotangulia katika mbio za kuruka viunzi. Ikiwa ataendelea kuwa na afya njema, uthabiti na maendeleo haya, anaweza kuiongoza Kenya kurejesha ubingwa wa dunia mwaka 2027 na kufufua matumaini ya taifa katika moja ya mbio ambazo kwa muda mrefu zimekuwa alama ya mafanikio ya riadha za Kenya.
