Athletics Kenya (AK) Nyanza South chairman, Peter Angwenyi wants athletes who were eligible for the World Under-20 Championships this year allowed to take part next year even they are a year older. Angwenyi said this while addressing junior athletes at Getacho Primary School, where athletes from Mogonga PAG Training Camp were training before the coronavirus pandemic ravaged the globe. Korir admitted that some athletes who have been training for the event will be locked out due to age factor. He, however, revealed that AK had made a request to World Athletics to allow the athletes to compete if the event is held next year. We hope World Athletics will listen to us,” said Korir.
