First Kenyan Woman to Win Commonwealth Medal After Running Barefoot With Petticoat

No one had ever heard of the lanky teenager's prowess until when she became famous for running barefoot while wearing a green petticoat.

My Posterity Footprint
I leave my footprint for you to see
the damage that shoes did to me.
My foot is no longer nice and wide
but narrow and cramped in shoes they hide.
No longer are my feet healthy and free
but diseased and sick, they bother me.
Take this as a lesson, so you may too
not be fooled into thinking shoes rule.
This is what society did to me.
I leave my footprint for the world to see. ~me

She looks comfortable in her petticoat if you ask me.
