Kip Keino Classic: Twanisha Terry, Lilian Odira and Kyree King Added as Organisers Unveil Updated Entries

Kip Keino Classic director Barnaba Korir has unveiled the updated entry lists ahead of the Continental Tour Gold meeting set for April 24 at Nyayo National Stadium.

The seventh edition will mark a historic milestone, as it will be staged under floodlights for the first time and will also feature the introduction of wavelight technology.

Top stars confirmed for the event include Africa’s fastest man, Ferdinand Omanyala, world 200m bronze medallist Bryan Levell, and triple Olympic champion Gabby Thomas.

Speaking during a press conference at Riadha House on Monday, April 13, Barnaba Korir revealed that one top athlete who had shown interest in the men’s 100m is yet to confirm participation.

He also disclosed that Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi will compete in the 1500m, stepping up from his usual 800m event.

“We are asking Kenyans to turn up in large numbers, to come and cheer and make sure that we elevate this event to a high level. We are looking forward to having better events like the World Championships and the Diamond League, which is in the pipeline,” Barnaba Korir said.

“We cannot get those ones unless we show the world that we can organise a high-profile event. We have the infrastructure now, and as Kenyans, we just have to show up. The world wants to see the numbers and the interest from the public.”
