By EDITORIALMore by this AuthorAthletics Kenya has named a strong team of 49 athletes that is a blend of youth and experience to represent the country at the London World Championships from August 4-13. The team has six out of the seven champions from the 2015 Beijing World Championships. David Rudisha (800m), Asbel Kiprop (1,500m) Ezekiel Kemboi (3,000m steeplechase), Nicholas Bett (400m hurdles), Julius Yego (javelin) and Havyin Kiyeng (3,000m steeplechase) will be in the London-bound team. We believe head coach Julius Kirwa, who has had a Midas touch with the team, is again raring to go. But coach Kirwa, who handled the team to its best outings at the 2008 Beijing and 2016 Rio Olympics Games besides the 2015 Beijing Worlds, will need support from fellow coaches, athletes, Athletics Kenya and other stakeholders.
