Gospel singer Linet Masiro Munyali, popularly known as Size 8 was over the moon on Friday, August 6, after her song was played during a medals-awards ceremony at the Tokyo Olympics in Japan.
Her song dubbed Mateke was played when Kenya’s 1500m race gold winner Faith Kipyegon was being crowned her medal.
Taking to her Instagram Page, Size 8 was full of gratitude that her song had hit a global audience.

The song is one of the greatest music releases that made Size a household name in Kenya.
