Wanyonyi, the former herdsboy, dreams of glory in Kip Keino Classic
Kenya's Emmanuel Wanyonyi holds the trophy after winning the men's 800m during the 2023 Prefontaine Classic and Wanda Diamond League final at Hayward Field on September 17, 2023 in Eugene, Oregon.
Last year, Wanyonyi won the two-lap race in a world-leading and meeting record time.
World 800m silver said he never expected to clock a world-leading time at last year’s event.
World 800 metres silver medallist, Emmanuel Wanyonyi, has set his sights on defending his title in the fifth edition of the Absa Kip Keino Classic on April 20 at Nyayo National Stadium.
Kip Keino Classic, which is making its return to Nyayo Stadium after four years, is the only Continental Gold Tour event in Africa.
