ATHLETICS Why competing against Ferdinand Omanyala, Mark Otieno will be a plus for Hesborn Ochieng
Sprinter Hesborn Ochieng has opened up on why he does not train to beat the likes of Ferdinand Omanyala and Mark Otieno.
Both men will line up in Belgrade with the hopes of winning more medals, and they will be joined on the senior men’s team by Martin Kiprotich, who finished 18th at last year’s edition of the event. African U20 5000m champion Dan Kibet, finished runner-up to Kiplimo at last month’s Ugandan Cross-Country Championships.
The Kenyan team, led by Sabastian Sawe will certainly have their work cut out with the presence of the serial threats. Gideon Rono and Nicholas Kimeli will also be in the team with last year’s World Ubder-20 champion Ishmael Kipkurui also in the mix, this time around competing in the senior event.
