Vincent Keter has admitted that his fear is gone after debuting at the senior level at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.

Former World Under-20 1500m champion Vincent Keter’s fear is gone after a memorable outing at the concluded World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.

Representing the country in the indoor global event, Keter was slightly nervous about his capabilities but he now leaves Scotland with a different mindset.

In a post on his X (Twitter) handle, Keter said: “Thank you Glasgow World Indoors. Proud to represent Kenya at the senior level for the very first time. Will have no fear for the future.”

The 21-year-old made his senior-level debut at the event. He was competing in the 1500m short track race, winning his heat but proceeded to finish 10th in the final.

He has been off to a good start this season, competing in the Athletics Kenya weekend meetings and posting great times.

He started with the second AK track and field weekend meet and finished second in the 1500m final. The youngster then proceeded to the third AK meet, finishing third in the final of the 800m.

Keter then started his indoor campaign with a win at the Meeting in Metz before finishing second at the Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais EDF Trophy.

His focus now shifts to the major event of the year, the Olympic Games in Paris, France where the youngster will be hoping to make a name for himself.

Keter might also be looking to make the cut to the African Games, despite Athletics Kenya being given an order to just send 30 athletes to Accra, Ghana.
