“When the team was selected, I was unbothered and didn’t complain because I had an injury. I feel like Eliud, Benson, and Mutiso will do well since they are strong. I have raced with them and I know they are strong athletes,” Chebet told Daily Sport.
“I pray that they embrace teamwork and I wish them all the best. They should bring us gold and I believe they have the ability to do well,” he added.
The 2022 New York City Marathon champion added that he suffered an injury before going for last year’s New York City Marathon, forcing him to withdraw from the race and take a step back from training.
As Kenya’s team for the marathon was being selected, Chebet was not in the best shape to be considered hence the snub.
The Kenyan marathoner added that the selected team is strong and will motivate him to impress when he makes his return to the New York City Marathon, hoping to reclaim his Olympic title.
“I got a stress fracture and last year, I had to pull out of the New York City Marathon last year. I had to take care of it and going to Boston earlier this year, I had an injury but I was happy. I have started training and gone back to the camp. I’m getting ready to go and race in New York and I want to stay healthy,” Chebet said.
