The most important thing for me was to win the heats. I didn’t set any targets this weekend but I can promise a sub-10 performance,” he said.
He added that he just wants to win the gold for Kenya Police in the final which is scheduled for Sunday, June 24.
“I want to win a gold for Kenya Police, that’s my main goal. However, if I record fast times, I’ll be glad,” he said.
