LIVE: Kenyan Trials - Nicholas Kimeli wins the 10,000m men final and books his ticket to Budapest World Championships
Welcome to our live coverage as the first and second athletes across the line are guaranteed a place in the plane to Budapest.
Athletics Kenya Nairobi Region chair Barnaba Korir has revealed that the 28-year-old’s poor form is due to a leg problem that has since not been sorted.
“Emmanuel Korir is injured…he has a problem with his foot. He was supposed to compete at the Kip Keino Classic but failed due to an injury. We hope that by the time the World Championships are here, he will be well,” she said.
Korir has also missed out on the ongoing World Championships National Trials. However, he has a wild card to the global event after winning the 800m at last year’s World Championships.
Without his presence, all hopes will rest on former World Under-20 champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi and Commonwealth Games 800m champion Wycliffe Kinyamal if they make the cut.
