By GAITANO PESSAMore by this AuthorBy JOSEPH KANYIMore by this AuthorWorld champions Elijah Manangoi and Hellen Obiri are among 32 athletes who have qualified for the 2017 Diamond League finals. This year’s Diamond League format witnessed a change where athletes had to qualify by earning points from four to six meetings. Manangoi’s closest rival is World 1,500m silver medallist Timothy Cheruiyot, who has accumulated 25 points spiced up with victory in Stockholm. Notably, Kwemoi has better chances of winning the series in 5,000m in Zurich than in the metric mile race Series. World 5,000m silver medallist Mo Farah, who is fresh from winning the 3,000m race in Birmingham, will spice up the race.
