Kenya Harlequin lock confident in unbeatable form after six-week Kasarani camp preparation.
Kenya last won the title during the 2019 World Championships in Doha, Qatar courtesy of Conseslus Kipruto but he has since been battling a series of injuries and is yet to come back fully into competition.
Kenya was a steeplechase powerhouse and she had retained the title since 2007 when Brimin Kipruto led a 1-2-3 Kenyan sweep at the World Championships in Osaka.
Henceforth, Ezekiel Kemboi won four successive titles from the 2009 World Championships in Berlin to the 2015 edition of the event in Beijing. Kipruto took the mantle in the 2017 World Championships in London and also won the 2019 edition.
The long reign was cut short after Morocco’s Soufiane El Bakkali stunned the Kenyan contingent to snatch the title during the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
