FOOTBALL Kakamega Homeboyz coach Patrick Odhiambo explains how his side can down Tusker
Kakamega Homeboyz coach Patrick Odhiambo has revealed how he intends to stop Tusker from collecting maximum points in Saturday's encounter at Bukhungu Stadium.
She, however, has not lost hope and she wants to give her best shot when she races on US soil one more time.
The 29-year-old has sweet memories of the Hayward Field in Eugene since she won the 200m at last year’s edition of the event.
“I believe in myself, I believe in what I’m capable of doing. If it comes it comes if it doesn’t it’s okay. I’ll cool down, take a little break, and then prepare for next year.
But as I said the focus is on this year…if I get the record in Eugene, then it will be a plus but I won’t kill myself,” the Jamaican said.
She has been unbeaten so far this year in the 200m and that shows how formidable she is to take down the record.
The World 100m silver medallist opened her track season in the 200m at the Diamond League Meeting in Rabat, Morocco where she reigned supreme.
