Fresh from winning the men’s 2km race at the third Athletics Kenya cross country meet in Iten, Emmanuel Wanyonyi noted that he has yet to begin training and competing in cross country races is a way of building his endurance.
The world 800m silver medallist explained that beating a strong field to win the race without training is proof that everything is on course and once he resumes training, he will be lethal.

'I'm not proud of it' - Junelle Bromfield forced to apologize to fiancé Noah Lyles after major engagement blunder
Junelle Bromfield had to make a promise to her fiancé Noah Lyles after forgetting one of the most important things since their highly publicized engagement.
“I feel very happy to have won here (Iten), it shows my preparations are going well and I’m proud of my performance. I didn’t have any pressure because I haven’t started training yet and I just came here to see how things would go. I’m currently doing my build-up through cross country and that is a part of my training,” Emmanuel Wanyonyi said after the race.
Analysing the race, Emmanuel Wanyonyi revealed that he did not have any pressure whatsoever despite having a great 2024 season that was marked by wins and crazily faster times.
Emmanuel Wanyonyi revealed that he entered the race to do what he does best and he surely delivered a stunning win in a sprint finish. Kamar Etiang and Phanuel Koech finished second and third respectively in the race.
“I always saw I was on the podium and I didn’t have any pressure, I was just running my race. Preparations are going well; my build-up is great and I just pray that God keeps me safe so we can see how things will be next year. For now, I’m looking for endurance,” he added.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel Wanyonyi has been in great shape in 2024, winning the Olympic title in the men’s 800m at just 20. The Kenyan youngster continued his winning ways to the Diamond League Meeting final in Brussels.
Wanyonyi also threatened David Rudisha’s world record, clocking a stunning 1:41.11 to win the Diamond League Meeting in Lausanne. The time he clocked is the second-fastest in history tying with Wilson Kipketer. David Rudisha’s world record stands at 1:40.91 and with such fast times being clocked, it might just go down next season.
