Patrick Sang has reflected on Faith Kipyegon’s Breaking4 attempt, admitting he had concerns about her mindset after the race but was later reassured by her strong response.
In their statement, Athletics Kenya emphasised their commitment to providing a well-structured platform that nurtures talent and sharpens elite athletes for upcoming international assignments.
The federation noted that the Track and Field Series is part of a larger strategy aimed at reclaiming and defending Kenya’s dominance on the world stage.
“The 2026 Track and Field Series will not only enhance athlete preparedness for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow but also strengthen the country’s dominance in athletics by offering consistent, high-quality competition opportunities throughout the season,” read part of the communication.
The early release of the calendar also gives coaches and training camps time to properly plan athlete workloads, rest cycles, and targeted peak performances.
With Kenya expected to field a strong squad across distances, hurdles, throws, and sprints, the extended season may offer a decisive advantage.
As the 2026 cycle officially begins, all eyes now turn to Mumias in early November, where the country’s next generation of stars will line up chasing fast times and a ticket to Glasgow.
