ATHLETICS Mary Moraa sets new national record while sealing 400m ticket to the World Championships
The dancing queen revealed that the record was not in her plans and it was a surprise that she had broken it.
At the same time, World 3000m Steeplechase record holder Beatrice Chepkoech and Boston Marathon champion Hellen Obiri had won gold. Moraa revealed that she felt intimidated hanging out with the duo since they had won gold and she had nothing to bring back home.
“I was with Chepkoech in the same room during the event and she had won gold and I didn’t have anything.
She advised me that if I want to do well, I should switch to the 800m. I was a bit skeptical because I didn’t believe I was capable of running two laps.
Obiri also came and gave me the same advice and I decided to heed what they were telling me,” she told Nation Sport.
She revealed that, however, things were not easy during the first few times of training. She revealed that she joined Chepkoech in training in Kericho and they used to train very early in the morning and her legs would end up hurting.
She did not give up and her switch to the 800m reaped a lot of benefits and she is now the Diamond League Final Trophy winner and she also won the bronze medal at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, Oregon.

FOOTBALL: FIFA investigating Zambia's Women team head coach Bruce Mwape over sexually exploiting players
Other Zambian coaches and officials were also accused of sexual misconduct and investigated, including the Under 17s girls' team coach.
She also noted that switching to the 800m was a decision she had to make due to the lack of a management.
“In Africa, it’s hard to get a management when you’re competing in the 400m…it’s very different from the European countries. For proper training, you need good shoes and other important training gear.
However, getting those without a management is a bit difficult. Other athletes are sponsored by Nike, Adidas, and Puma and you have to pull up your socks if you are intentional about being an intentional athlete,” she said.
