The mantle has now been left for Commonwealth Games champion Abraham Kibiwott, Leonard Bett, and Simon Koech, who is yet to hit the qualifying time.
Two-time World champion Conseslus Kipruto will not be making his appearance at this year’s World Championships in Budapest, Hungary scheduled for August 19 to 27.
