FOOTBALL LALIGA plans to host more football camps in Kenya after successful inaugural programme
The Spanish topflight league hosted the first of 'hopefully' many more week-long training camps in Kenya.
Since then, he has been a mainstay in Team Kenya to global events but since last year, he has not been at his best due to a bout of injuries.
During the ongoing World Championships in the Hungarian capital, Cheruiyot made the cut to the semifinal by a whisker after finishing sixth. Going to the semifinal, he struggled to maintain consistency and ended up finishing ninth and missing out on a place in the final.
It might be a long road to make it back to another World Championships but he still maintains his focus is now on next year’s Paris Olympics where he will be hoping to go one place better.
“I will come and fight another day…This loss has given me a lot of motivation and I will go back to the drawing board and train hard and focus because we have the Olympic Games next year,” he said.

Cheruiyot had great ambitions going into the World Championships and one was to reclaim the title but all that has gone up in flames. He also expressed his disappointment but insisted that as a champion, he cannot afford to give up.
“A game is a game and I’m disappointed. As a champion, you have to accept any results. I was beaten and I have to accept that,” he said.
