After conquering the world as a player, Malkia Striker s coach Paul Bitok is now on the cusp of making history by leading the women’s national volleyball team to glory as they return to the Olympics after a 17-year absence.
Until 2019, the closest Bitok had ever come to qualifying for the Olympics was in 2013 during the CAVB Beach volleyball qualifiers in Abuja, Nigeria.
Then, he was leading the Rwanda beach volleyball team. However, Bitok lost to Egypt in the final. But the former Kenya men’s team captain still believes he was robbed of victory and an opportunity to make his Olympics debut as a coach at the 2016 Rio Games.

NAIROBI, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) Nine-time African women volleyball champions Kenya are raring to give a good account of themselves this summer when the team returns to the Olympics Games for a third time in Tokyo.
The continental women volleyball powerhouse, known affectionately back home as the Malkia Strikers, earned their Tokyo 2020 Olympics ticket by finishing second at the 2019 African Championships to mark their return to the global sporting jamboree for the first time since Athens 2004.
With Egypt and Cameroon shattering their African dominance in recent years, Kenya are determined to improve on their 11th placing at both the Athens 2004 and Sydney 2000 Games when the women s volleyball competition spikes off in the deferred Tokyo 2020 Games start on July 24 in Japan.
