Meanwhile, the Canadian will be returning to the event with ambitious plans this time around after finishing second during last year’s edition of the event.
After last year’s Kip Keino Classic, Katzberg competed in a series of events including the USTAF Los Angeles Grand Prix where he finished third in the final and proceeded to the Diamond League Meeting in Paris where he also impressed with a win.
His highlight of the year was winning the world title, just 21 at the time and as this year’s Paris Olympic Games loom, he is all set as he eyes the Kip Keino Classic to propel him to greater heights.
As Moraa emphasised, his return will also be an opportunity for Kenyan hammer throwers to get skills and learn from one of the best if not the best.
