Warning shots have been fired at reigning Olympic and World 3000m Steeplechase champion Soufiane El Bakkali as Amos Serem outlines the tactic to reclaim Kenya's steeplechase glory.
Kenyans have always been known to dominate steeplechase but in the recent past, Moroccans and Ethiopians have shown Team Kenya dust, especially in global events including the World Championships and Olympic Games.
The last time a Kenyan won the steeplechase title at the World Championships was in 2019 in Doha, Qatar, where Conseslus Kipruto and Beatrice Chepkoech took the men’s and women’s titles respectively.
At the Olympic Games, Kenya last won the title during the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics while the women are yet to bag a title at the global bonanza. Kenya was stripped of the title by Morocco’s Soufiane El Bakkali and Amos Serem thinks it’s high time Kenya reclaims the title.
