Athletics Kenya has thanked the government for its relentless support during Kenya's failed bid for the 2025 World Athletics Championships. The body said both President Uhuru Kenyatta and Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed provided all the support needed at every stage of the bid. “AK is grateful to the government, through President Uhuru Kenyatta and Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed, for their round-the-clock support to show the seriousness of Kenya’s bid. “As Athletics Kenya, it undoubtedly feels like a missed opportunity for Kenya to become the first-ever African country to host such a grand championship. “Despite having competed for so many years against Kenyan runners, it was a hallmark of Pan-Africanism for Gebreselassie to voice his support for our bid.
