Among the trio, Kinyamal is the fastest in the field with a Personal Best of 1:43.12. Sedjati is second with a PB of 1:43.69. Moula is the third fastest with a PB of 1:44.19.
Kinyamal started off his track outdoor season during the second Athletics Kenya weekend meet where he won the 800m. The meeting in Doha will be his first international competition.
Sedjati, just like Kinyamal, has only competed once, at the ACNW Athletics Provincial Championships in South Africa where he won the 600m race. For Moula, the Doha Meeting will be his first competitive race since the World Championships last year.
Kinyamal will enjoy the company of compatriot Noah Kibet who had a great start of his indoor tour over the 800m and will be keen to transfer the exploits as he kickstarts his outdoor tour. Kibet won the Lilac Grand Prix in January and extended the winning streak to the Millrose Games in February.
