Kenya's Hellen Obiri in action during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics women's 5000m round one, on Friday. Days of expecting much from where there is no hope are over though as the 3,000m Steeplechase final and the women 5,000m final are on the Olympics menu today. There is fear though that Kenya could lose the 3,000m steeplechase Olympic title for the first time in nine Olympic Games. “We know steeplechase is a Kenyan event and we have to fight to make sure that we take the gold medal home,” Kigen said. She may have finished second at the trials, but she went on to win at the Diamond League meeting in Oslo.
