ATHLETICS Doubts rock Peres Jepchirchir's participation in Sunday's New York City Marathon
Peres Jepchirchir is unsure of competing in Sunday's New York City Marathon due to a calf injury she encountered during training.
The record has since been shuttered by Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa, who ran a scintillating race at the Berlin Marathon in September, to clock 2:11:53.
Kosgei has already fired warning shots to the Ethiopians, noting that the record belongs to Kenya and it will be returned to its rightful owner.
“I never felt anything when the world record was broken but what I know is that it will be returned to Kenya. It does not belong to Ethiopians and we will do something to make sure we reclaim it," said Kosgei.
"However, I was not angry, I was happy because every day, everyone runs their own time and their good shape earns them the titles.”
