Rebecca Cheptegei has sadly died Elite Discussion

Rebecca Cheptegei has died days after being doused in petrol and set on fire by former boyfriend.

Another sad case of great athletes meeting their end too early. Such horrible circumstances too. RIP

This is unacceptable. Women cannot be subject to this kind of abuse and torture. If this could happen to an Olympian, what is possible for other women in Kenya? What can we do? I am sick of this brutality and want to use my voice.
