By BERNARD ROTICHMore by this AuthorWomen’s world marathon record holder Brigid Kosgei is set to clash with her compatriot Pauline Kaveke at the year-ending Corrida Internacional de São Silvestre 15-kilometre road race on Tuesday in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Kosgei ran a brilliant race in Chicago in October to break the world record previously held by Paula Radcliffe (two hours, 15 minutes and 25 seconds), setting a new mark of 2:14:04. She is optimistic that she will run well in the Brazilian city after good preparations and end the year on a high. “I had taken a long break after my exploits in the Chicago Marathon in October and I recently started my training. I will be using the race to gauge how my body reacts before I get into full training ahead of the next assignment,” said Kosgei.
