ATHLETICS Steeplechase record holder Beatrice Chepkoech to battle it out with stellar cast in Italy
She unfortunately missed out on the podium bracket in Doha but this time around.
Chepkoech has also been competing mostly in 1500m and 5000m races since the season started where she has performed remarkably well. She has competed in three 3000m SC where she won one, the Kip Keino Classic, and finished fourth in both the Diamond League Meetings in Doha, Qatar, and Florence, Italy.
During the just concluded National Championships, she was competing in the 5000m race where she finished an impressive second behind former Africa 5000m champion Lilian Kasait.
In a post-race interview with Sugary Ray Kuria, she said: “I feel scared of running steeplechase race especially when I remember the risk of injury.”
At the moment, all hopes are resting on her to bring back the victory that Kenya lost during last year’s edition of the World Championships.
