ATHLETICS Brigid Kosgei out to wrestle world marathon record from Ethiopia, claims it belongs to Kenya
Brigid Kosgei has reacted to the news of the women's world marathon record going to Ethiopia and has noted that plans are underway to reclaim it.
In the post-race interview, Ngetich said she is using the cross-country meetings as part of her Paris 2024 Olympic preparations where she will be competing in 10,000m.
“Today’s race wasn’t that bad…I have been improving slowly and my bronze medal at the World Cross-country Championships was motivation enough for me to compete in other cross-country races," she explained.
"I am planning to vie for a ticket to the Olympic Games in the 10,000m. I want to go and represent my country and come back with great results and hopefully finish in the podium bracket."
