ATHLETICS Kibiwott Kandie reveals next move after injury rules him out of World Championships
This marks the second consecutive time the Commonwealth Games 10,000m bronze medallist will be missing out on the global showpiece.
He returns to the familiar course after bagging two titles and he also successfully broke the half marathon world record during his debut on the course. The record was broken by Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo at the Lisbon Half Marathon in 2021.
He won last year and he will be looking to successfully defend his title when he lines up against the strong field. His toughest opposition comes from Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha who has had a pretty amazing season thus far.
He finished fifth in the 5000m at the just concluded World Championships in Budapest, Hungary and he has won two 5000m races at the Diamond League Meetings in Oslo and Switzerland.
Kandie’s compatriot, Mathew Kimeli will also be competing and Ethiopia’s Tadese Worku will also be in action with the hope of bagging the top prize.
