ATHLETICS Warning shots fired at Sha'Carri Richardson, Fraser-Pryce as another sprinter enters the chat
Warning shots have already been fired at Sha'Carri Richardson and Shelly-Anne Fraser-Pryce with the rise of Polish sprinter Ewa Swoboda who has been making headlines lately.
The 2019 World Champion suffered a niggly hamstring injury and made a comeback into competitive athletics last season. However, she has insisted that she is not fully recovered but she will try her best.
Her main focus this season is to bag a medal at the event since she has never won an Olympic medal in her athletics career.
“I’m not fully back but I will try to come back strong this season. I’m really working hard to go to the Olympics and win a medal since I don’t have any from the event,” Chepkoech added.
She was in action at the ORLEN Copernicus Cup in Torun, Poland, on Tuesday night competing in the 1500m and managed to finish fifth.
