With Nairobi, kenya hosting the first World Athletics Continental Tour, dubbed Kip Keino Classic, World Athletics President Sebastian Coe will be expecting a highly competitive and thrilling show on Kip Keino Classic on Saturday at the Nyayo National Stadium.
Being the 7th and the last series in the athletics tour across the world, the race has attracted top ranked athletes.
“We have had six Continental Tour Gold meetings over the last two months, which have produced a range of marvellous performances,” Coe said.
Coe said Kenya will again take centre stage next year when the postponed World Under-20 Championships are held from August 17 to 22 at the Moi International Sports Centre, just a week after the Tokyo Olympic Games.
“We know that the Kenyan fans are passionate about our sport and will create a great atmosphere for the athletes at both the Kip Keino Classic and next year,” said Coe.
