The duo will be competing in both the 5000m and 10,000m and Simiu believes having Kimeli by his side is all he needs to make a statement in Central Europe.
“My greatest strength is having Kimeli in my left, right, and front…that will be absolutely amazing for me. We shall be competing in the 10,000m for the first time and I think working with him is perfect.
"We are friends and neighbors so during the National Trials, I requested him to help me to separate men from boys. He cooperated and that’s how I made the cut to finish second in the 10,000m,” Simiu said.
