19-year-old Reynold Cheruiyot went into the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary with the hope of making a mark on the global stage but he unfortunately was unsuccessful in attaining his target.
He was competing in the men’s 1500m and went ahead to finish a distant eighth in a time of 3:30.78. He believes bagging a medal at next year’s Olympic Games in Paris will compensate for his loss at the World Championships.

FOOTBALL: ‘AFC Leopards would have been relegated if not us,’ says Shikanda as he backs Tom Juma to succeed at Ingwe
The AFC Leopards chairman feels the club is in a better position due to his management and it will not be long before the Tom Juma-led team starts posting positive results
“When I exited the World Championships my mind automatically shifted to the Olympic Games. My main goal will be to bring a medal back home.
"At the World Championships, we struggled a lot and failed to bring a medal in the men’s 1500m and our medal haul was very low. We shall be going for revenge,” Cheruiyot said.
Team Kenya was represented by Abel Kipsang, Timothy Cheruiyot, and Reynold who failed to live up to the billing.
Kipsang and Reynold made it to the final but failed to finish in the podium bracket while Rotich and Timothy failed to make it to the final after fizzling out in the semifinal.

ATHLETICS: The millions Usain Bolt makes in a year
The Jamaican is the world record holder in both the 100m and 200m, records he set during the 2009 World Championships.
He finished behind Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen who set a world record time of 4:43.13 over the distance. He recounted that the race was not a walk in the park and the fact that he was seeking points to qualify for the final, he was forced to put in more effort.
“I was under pressure to get more points in the race and I had to work hard until I finished second. The race was very tactical but I did not struggle a lot because I have competed in the 5000m before,” he said.
