“We used to hunt lions, but in vain.” (Maasai elder) Masai men in Kenya used to hunt lions to show their strength. However, the Maasai Olympics started 10 years ago in response to the fact that hunting, which is a tradition, has reduced the population of lions, which is also a tourism resource. Prizes will also be awarded to top finishers. Young Maasai says: “Protecting animals is the modern ‘victory'” Maasai youth no longer kill lions, instead they compete in their own “Olympics”
