ATHLETICS Why Kandie is optimistic about shinning at World Athletics Championships
The athlete had been sidelined by injuries that saw him miss major competitions
“I want to keep working hard since I am aiming to make Team Kenya for the World Championships,” Kandie told Nation Sport.
The 2020 world half marathon silver medallist opened his season at the World Cross-country Championships where he fought hard to finish fifth in the senior men’s race.
He then went for the Adizero Roads to Records in Germany where he finished second in the 10km race.
His recent feat was during the ongoing Kenya Defense Forces Championships where he defended his 10,000m crown dominantly after clocking 28:19.32.
“After competing in the 10km race in Germany, I felt my body responding well. I just want to maintain that,” the Commonwealth Games 10,000m bronze medallist said.
Meanwhile, reigning Boston Marathon champion Hellen Obiri defended her 5000m crown at the event.
