After 20 years of travelling to Uganda, it’s been an absolute joy to bring my wife & son to the Pearl at last. The come back against SA for 3-3 last week was among many highlights. Sincere thanks to everyone for the amazing hospitality. This is a very special country. Asanti Sana

- .@GovUganda Great to meet Ugandan Chef de Mission & an honour to commentate on history for @joshuacheptege1 Thanks for the 100’s of messages. I will try to read them after the athletics finishes. I’ve been to Uganda many times for youth work & love the country
- Thanks to everyone in Uganda who has tweeted me about the commentary here in Tokyo. I’ve been inundated with messages. I’m commentating on the race live tonight. I’m sure Cheptegei, Kiplimo & Chelimo will do you all proud. Watch out for Katir though - he’s had a great season. 👊🏻More medals for Uganda coming in today at 3pm. @joshuacheptege1 @robwalkertv #Olympics #Olympics2020 #Tokyo2020 #TokyoOlympics2020

- .@ExploreUganda Any Mzungu who goes to impenetrable forest to do a Gorilla trek should visit this brilliant Women’s project in local village before returning to Kampala. [email protected] Brilliantly run by superb people. Best of luck for the future, you deserve big success 🇺🇬
00:00 - .@GovUganda @ExploreUganda As if this week couldn’t get any more surreal, we only got to Kapchorwa to see @joshuacheptege1 because we were kindly loaned use of the President’s official personal helicopter. This has most certainly been a trip of firsts! 🇺🇬
- .@NileSpecial @GovUganda HNY everyone & a big nod of respect to Nile Breweries in Kampala. Delighted to help a brand who have agreed to donate a generous proposed promo fee straight to the @joshuacheptege1 training camp fund. Ugandans looking after their own. 👊🏻#UnmatchedInGOLD

- .@ExploreUganda @RwenzoriMarathn The altitude was brutal on the half marathon & I was broken at the finish, but I loved it. A steady 1.46 and first Mzungu to finish. Next year I’ll need some more training! 2,000 took part. I can see that doubling in next 3 years.
