FOOTBALL Cautious McKinstry expects tight game against Kakamega Homeboyz in Charity Shield
The Gor Mahia coach believes teams will not be putting their bodies on the line in Saturday’s Charity Shield but the trophy will act as extra motivation
“Of course, it’s bagging the Olympic gold medal in the 400m. That’s everyone’s goal in athletics…when you win the gold, you’re good to go,” Mweresa told Nation Sport.
The 29-year-old’s main focus this season is qualifying for next year’s Paris Olympics. He has been selected to compete in the 400m as he heads to the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary and he wants to use the chance there to hit the qualifying time for the Olympic Games.
He attested that his training has been great so far and he intends to do well when he heads to Central Europe. He was in action during the 2017 London World Championships but unfortunately was eliminated in the semifinal and he noted that he will be keen to improve on that.
“The training has been okay and we are just doing the final touches. I want to qualify for the Olympics next year when I go to Budapest.
I also want to get to the final since last year I was unfortunately eliminated in the semifinal,” Mweresa said.
He added that the coming of Africa’s fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala is a great morale booster for most of the sprinters in Kenya. He strongly believes that Team Kenya will shine in the sprints.
