The trio of World 10,000m Geoffrey Kamworor, Olympic 10,000m silver medallist Paul Tanui and World Half marathon silver medallist were at it again with a great show in men’s 10,000m. But will Kamworor and company deliver victory this time round after falling short at the 2015 World Championships and Rio Olympic Games? Olympic 3,000m steeplechase champion Consenslus Kipruto will lead a strong team of four times reigning champion Ezekiel Kemboi, 2009 World champion Brimin Kipruto and Jairus Birech to the World Championships. Korir caused a major upset in men’s 800m when he floored well-known athletes to victory for his maiden World Championships ticket. However, it’s only Kibet and National champion Collins Omae who have attained the World Championships time.
