Beatrice Chebet On Why She is Not Losing Sleep Over Her New World Record Being Broken Soon
Beatrice Chebet, who set a new 5,000m world record last week, has explained why she would still be happy even if her time is broken immediately.

Mohammed Clarifies Stance on Selection
)
Speaking at a Harambee Stars pre-CHAN media conference held on July 9 at Stadion Hotel in Kasarani, Mohammed addressed public concerns over favoritism and federation interference in national team affairs.
"I think the one thing many Kenyans have been concerned about in the past is the selection of teams," said Mohammed.
"I want to again reiterate that the team selection is purely at the discretion of the national coach and his technical bench."

Fearless Mohammed Bajaber Confident Harambee Stars Will Survive CHAN Group of Death
Mohammed Bajaber believes that Harambee Stars can overcome the CHAN 2024 group of death and make a strong run in the tournament.
He emphasized the clear distinction between the administrative role of the federation and the technical independence granted to McCarthy and his staff.
"The secretariat of the federation, including myself, have absolutely no say in how the players are selected, and we want to keep it that way," he said.
"There's complete separation of powers in that regard. We give this technical bench all the leeway to choose the players that they want to use and to participate in the tournament," he continued.
"So at the end of the day, we have given them complete freedom to make that choice, and for them, it's now to deliver on the pitch."

Provisional Squad Raises Eyebrows
)
Benni McCarthy’s 30-man provisional squad features a blend of experience and youth, with key names such as midfielders Mohammed Bajaber and Austin Odhiambo making the list.
Defensively, the coach has leaned on the reliability of seasoned campaigners like Abud Omar and Gor Mahia’s stalwart pairing of Alphonce Omija and Sylvester Owino.
However, not all reactions have been positive.
One of the biggest talking points has been the exclusion of Shabana FC’s standout performer Bryan Michira, whose impressive club season had many expecting him to earn a national call-up.
