Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba warned that the world is working hard to completely annihilate Kenya in steeplechase that had been the country’s preserve for decades
Namwamba said that Kenya had stamped its authority, winning all the steeplechase titles since the 1984 Los Angeles Games before it lost its grip when El Bakkali struck at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games in Japan
The CS said that he has asked AK to bring all the athletes, who compete in steeplechase in a camp so that they can train together and perhaps come up with a winning formula
Kenya will have to change its usual ways of training especially in steeplechase if they dream to recapture the world and Olympic titles they lost to Moroccan Soufiane El Bakkali.
