It was a place all too familiar to Janet Wanja.
On this court at the Moi International Sports Centre's Kasarani Indoor Arena, the much-loved volleyball star thrilled the nation.
On Thursday, the atmosphere was somber as family, colleagues, and mourners gathered to bid their final farewell to the athlete whose dazzling skills and love for the game made watching her a true joy.
The Indoor Arena held special significance as the venue for Wanja's final training session with the Malkia Strikers before their pre-Olympics camp in Miramar last July.
