Where was the KKK tournament held?
“During the KKK Tournament at Kipkelion East, I had the privilege of watching a remarkable team, Rovers, as they battled through the volleyball semi-finals. One of their standout players, Sharon Chebet, requested a substitution not because she was exhausted, but because she needed to breastfeed her child,” Kiprotich Marindany shared.
He captured the heartwarming moment Sharon sat on a plastic chair as she cradled her young one mid-competition.
With a smile on her face, showing how much she enjoyed spending time with her baby, she joyfully breastfed the little one.
Sharon sat far from the crowd that cheered on their teams as she carried out one of the most important roles of a mum to her bundle of joy.

Sharon returned to the court and continued to play exceptionally well, showing that motherhood and talent can truly go hand in hand,” he added.
Photos of Sharon in action also went viral as they captured her dedication to her team’s performance.
It was the same zeal and commitment she showed to her baby, proving that life is all about finding balance.
What is KKK competition about?
She excelled in both roles, as a player and a mother, giving her all and leaving many inspired.
“This tournament isn’t just about competition; it’s about nurturing talent, celebrating courage, and inspiring a generation,” Kiprotich added.
Sharon was undoubtedly one of the standout players who brought energy and competitive spirit to the game.
One netizen joked that Sharon was his girlfriend, as another hilariously shut him down, calling him an elder.
