National 400 metres champion Zablon Ekwam trains at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani on August 05, 2023 ahead of World Athletics Championships scheduled for August 19 to 27 in Budapest, Hungary.
Ekwam hopes to improve that time further by hitting the right Olympic Games codes at the Absa Kip Keino Classic on Saturday
Ekwam said that getting a good event like the Kip Keino Classic where there is quality competition will help him run several sub 45 seconds this year before the Paris Olympic Games
Ekwam is the fifth fastest in the field but second fastest this season after Botswanan Bayap Ndori, who is the Africa 400m silver medallist
At the backdrop of a rain-drenched track, national 400metres champion Zablon Ekwam struck personal best in the 400m final during the trials for World Athletics Relays Championships 10 days ago at Nyayo National Stadium.
The 26-year-old Ekwam triumphed in 45.19 seconds, beating his previous best of 45.47 attained when he won the national 400m title at the same venue last year.
