After a stellar 2020, Peres Jepchirchir wants Olympics slot
Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya beats the World Record (1:05:16) and wins the women's race of the 2020 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Gdynia, Poland, in October 17, 2020.
She hopes Athletics Kenya will consider her for the marathon team in next year's Olympics Games in Tokyo, Japan.
“I will now take a break because competing in three international races in three months is not a joke. I am looking forward to secure a slot in the Kenyan team that will be heading to the Olympics Games because that’s now my dream,” she added.
Despite a tough year that has disrupted the sporting calendar, it has been a rather good year for Kenya's Peres Jepchirchir.
Two world records and a course record in the space of three months stunned the world and last Sunday, she ran her last race of the year and bagged victory in the Valencia Marathon.
