Edmund Serem has detailed his relationship with his elder brother Amos Serem.
Amos Serem's younger brother Edmund Serem has discussed the relationship he shares with his brother on and off the track.
The Serem brothers compete in the 3000m steeplechase and sometimes having siblings competing in the same discipline is not easy. There are bound to be arguments, bragging rights and so on, but for Edmund Serem, that is not the case, he loves competing against his brother.
Edmund is the youngest of the two, and he explained that his intentions are never to outshine him but to gain more knowledge in navigating the water and barrier race. So far, things are working out very well.

Stephen Francis sheds light on the rift between Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce & Elaine Thompson-Herah at MVP: 'It became too much'
Both Fraser-Pryce & Thompson-Herah were teammates for a long time at MVP under Stephen Francis' guidance, but their rise to becoming world class sprinters naturally created animosity between the two.
In an interview with World Athletics, he disclosed that when his brother wins, the family wins, and his position does not bother him. They both have the same goal, to achieve the milestones their father, who was also an athlete, failed to achieve.
"Our father had a great passion for athletics but didn't get enough support at the time. He has provided Amos and me with everything we’ve needed, telling us, 'I don't want you to lack anything as I did during my time',” Edmund said as per World Athletics.
“So I don't care which one of us wins the race because the success will eventually end up at home. Every time my brother and I are in the same race, he usually performs very well. I don't know if it is because he doesn't want me to beat him or because he feels stronger when I am around him, but I still look forward to racing against him.”

Amos won the title at the 2021 World Under-20 Championships in Nairobi, Kenya while his brother claimed top honours at this year’s edition of the event in Peru, Lima.
One thing that stands out about Edmund is his passion for the sport. He told World Athletics about his dream to bring back steeplechase to Kenya. Kenyans had for long dominated the event before Soufiane El Bakkali of Morocco came and shook their existence.

He has plans to make the Kenyan team to next year’s World Championships in Tokyo, Japan and is aware of the tough challenge that awaits him.
“We talked about strategic plans to nurture and work with the young and emerging stars to maintain Kenya's glory in athletics into the future, especially in the steeplechase. In recent years the men's steeplechase has been dominated mostly by Morroco's Soufiane El Bakkali, but we plan to end that,” Edmund said.
