Kaki and Kenyans

Meanwhile, the Kenyans, who are the defending champions, are beaming with confidence as the team held a light training session at the 22,000 Zdzislaw Krzyszkowiak Stadium this morning.

The Kenyans are here with World junior 800m silver medallist, Winny Chebet and for the men, the reigning national 800m champion Geoffrey Kibet and Felix Konchellah, a son of legendary 800m runner Billy Konchellah, who had both ran 1:47.1 seconds and 1:49.0 seconds respectively this season.

But, the Kenyan coaches are also cautious of the threat posed by the Sudanese wonder kid and African 800 metres champion Abubakar Kaki.

Kaki, who is the currently fastest man this season in the two lap race with a time of 1:42.69 seconds is using the World Junior meet as a test rehearsal for the Olympics Games in Beijing next month.
