Olympic silver medalist Timothy Cheruiyot has stated that his poor performance in the ongoing World Championships in Oregon was due to a bout of injuries which have been a nightmare for his training. Cheruiyot said the results did not come as a surprise to him because he was expecting tough competition. “This is something I expected because deep down, I knew the race was going to be tough. On his part, Africa 1,500m champion Abel Kipsang said poor race strategy cost them in the final. We promise to be better in Commonwealth Games later this month," noted Kipsang.
