You're just not going to get flawlessly organized events in places like Kenya, because every single year in every single sport we see events all over Africa having all kinds of organizational problems. However, in terms of sports quality and general feel and atmosphere, they're often absolutely amazing. The junior world championships in Nairobi a few years ago showed how badly they should have a senior worlds there, I've never seen a whole stadium party like that all day long, day after day. Best athletics event ever.
