Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лип 2024
- In Africa, a village in Kenya is nicknamed the Home of Champions because it produces an astonishing number of Olympic athletes. This place is called Iten, and if you watched any marathon runner winning a bronze, silver, or gold medal, there is a high chance that this person has been training here! So, I wandered around Iten, Kenya, to find out what is so special about this African village...

The motorbike guys reminds me of uncle Mo
Very true :)
When i saw the thumbnail i thought that was Mo honestly. The guy really looks like him. I said to myself Ponte loves this village but later after watching i realized ot was someone else. Ponte you love Kenya too much. Try west Africa also.
@@MichelePontePonte have you found your African Queen yet?
Until this video, I never heard of Iten, Kenya. A rather interesting and educational video. Nice job Michele! Iten is my kind of living. A small town that is not polluted with airborne contaminants, or loud with excessive traffic. You’ll also find in smaller towns, people are more apt to help once another out when issues arise. Thanks to you, I now know where the dedicated runners in Africa go to train. Wishing you the best, and I see your are within striking range of obtaining 100,000 subscribers! Yes, yes, yes! 🙏
Thanks a lot Randy and I glad I was able to surprise you with something you didn't know!
Let's get to 100k, please subscribe!
I just love Kenyans 💯🌹 thanks again for video Michele ❤️
Truly nice people!
Welcome home Ponte. When you speak to your family pass my regards. The family was very hospitable to our Marwa. Enjoy your stay. Also when two brothers have a disagreement it does not make them enemies. We love both of you.
I lost thousands of subscribers because of his lies, and he still didn't pay me my $500
Hi Michele thank you for sharing this unique village with us. I enjoyed watching🙏🙏💙💙

Thanks Nathalie!
Nice vlog bro 👍
Thank you!
They say iten is the home but Nandi is the source ...
If you stand at any point in Nandi and throw a stone, there is a high probability it will land on a marathon champion's home
I'll do some research, thanks.
I thought the guy on the pin nail was uncle Mo.😂
Similar person and character 😅
Welcome to rift valley 🎉🎉🎉, please visit Nandi county 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪,, the village to ELIUD KIPCHOGE
I will be your tour guide around
Thanks for the suggestion!
It’s very hard to visit Kenya just ounce. It’s a beautiful country not surprised you came back
Thank you!

Watching from Uganda 🇺🇬
Weebale!
😮oh you're back in Africa
Yes!
The rider let you down..he should start by explaining the roads go geographical to fixures and people
It's ok. This was an unexpected side mission for him :)
Welcome to my village ❤
Asante sana!
Michael welcome home

Hello new subscriber SON OF IGWE AFRICA
Thank you so much for subscribing!
Hi Porte.
Are you in Kenya or this is a old video??
I am in Kenya, I made so many livestreams
@@MichelePonte wow.
Welcome back,and don't leave again.. Kenya should be your second home,we love you.
Look for the maasai girlfriend and Mary her.she is such a beautiful girl🥰
😮you want to go in without paying 😅😅😅 come on .
Ponte am in Eldoret, are you still around?
Hey Michele!
hey Dane!
I am surprise uncle Mo didn’t link up. I will leave it to the fact that the unrest is going on so traveling to the city is not safe.
But now that him and Marwa is back together I doubt he will meet up with you.
You're smart, most people wouldn't have guessed it
@@MichelePonte yup 🤣🤣
Wow! Are we going where I am thinking?.
❤️❤️❤️❤️💪
I wrote the first comment without watching...
So this isn't uncle MO and the village isn't nyambohanse?.
It's not :)
Leo mkale kizungu imekwisha.
You are back in Eldi?
yep, I was there!
who notice how the motorcycle man was economically driving
Ponteeeee welcome. We misd you.
Asante sana!
Visit nyabohanse, Marwa is at the village
Only if pays me my $500 he promised
Marwa is a conman. He seldom pays his debts... A shame
hello Ponte make sure do video content everyday when you reach 100k from florida
Thank you Vitha!
I leave in Eldoret. Invite uncle mo he was your great friend.
I did, but...
This guy could pass as Uncle Mo s Brother
Ahah, true
I thought that was him
8:47 Kale obiongot - he's full (when you said you had eaten)
10:29 Hang gliding valley is what he meant 😅 make sure to see the hang gliders before you leave.
14:22 Wanariadha ( Swahili for athletes) 😂 He was pointing out that they live in that neighborhood.
17:29 The HATC is a training camp founded by an ex Olympian Lorna Kiplagat and her Dutch husband. Athletes from all over the world come here to train.
Ahahah, thank you so much!
Maybe easy way not to make places crowded….staggering prices everywhere in home of champions.
soon l see you hitting 100k subs. dont relent
Wanariata 😂😂😂😂.
l hope we are going to have nyama chuma for 100k sub
That would be amazing!
14:29 Bro. Wanariadha is Swahili for athletes😂
Nice to know!
Ponte,,boda boda man looks exactly uncle mo,,may be he is his twin brother?
Ahah, very similar character too!
The guy requested you greet italy. How possible is it
I will find a way :)
You could have walked that place is safe and has many places to toùr.be travelers but not tourists when it come places like this
There are no tourists here, I am a traveler.
And I spent many days in this place. Of course I walked around, but it's a more fun video on a motorcycle.
It is very interesting that you integrate with the local people. You don’t have to jeopardise your safety.❤❤❤
Thanks Brian!
He is not uncle Mo that coward
Uncle mo at Iten.
Ahah
Ponte you have lost a lot ,now I see you go and check uncle moo
why. uncle mo can as well check on him
@@ronaldrono5628 why should he seek them out. Mo is back being Marwa yard boy and is now giving his success credit to Marwa. Mo is a snake too. Everything was Ponte Ponte on his channel until Marwa gave him some attention 🤣🤣 he forgot Ponte
Ponte go back to marwa we are human and human is to era ❤❤❤
I don't want be around scammers. He owes me $500 while making $20.000 a month. Shame on him.
Maybe you can contact him and settle the issue with him 😏
@@MichelePonte Surprisingly his sister scammed a Jamaican guy a lot of money
You guys must insists or normalised putting on Helmets, please
They are impossible to find in some places
