Wycliffe Kinyamal Makes Shocking Confession Following Defeat by Botswana’s Tshepiso Masalela
Wycliffe Kinyamal reflects on a tough 800m race in Doha after a surprise result involving Botswana’s rising star.
It was a tightly contested battle behind him, as Switzerland’s Dominic Lobalu and Bahraini Birhanu Balew finished in a photo finish, both registering 13:17.70 to claim second and third places, respectively.
A Tactical Masterclass
Cheruiyot’s strategy paid dividends in the Doha heat as he conserved energy before launching an explosive push in the last 400 metres.
"I decided to hold some strength for the last part of the race and push hard in the last 400 metres. The Kenyan fans came to the stadium to cheer us and see us give our best. They gave me a lot of power," said Cheruiyot.
The 19-year-old’s eyes are now firmly set on the upcoming World Championships in Tokyo, where he aims to compete in the 1500m – his specialty event.
"My focus for this season will be to be at the Tokyo World Championships and run the 1,500m race, so I'm preparing for that goal. I want to do both distances in the future. My biggest thanks to all the fans who were here tonight and helped me get to this good result," he added.
