Kenya is set for a huge day at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, with high hopes for two gold medals in the Women’s Steeplechase and Men’s 1500m finals. 

The country’s athletes have already won three gold medals and are currently second in the overall medal count. 

All eyes are on Faith Cherotich and the Cheruiyot duo in the middle-distance events, especially since the 1500m final is missing some top favorites. 

Additionally, legendary javelin thrower Julius Yego and 800 m champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi are also in action, showing the team’s strong mix of veteran and young talent.

The primary focus for Kenyan fans will be two key finals scheduled for late afternoon, East Africa Time (EAT).

Kenya is aiming to continue its rich legacy in the steeplechase, led by the highly promising Faith Cherotich.

The men’s metric mile final is now wide open after several favorites were eliminated, giving Kenya’s experienced duo a major advantage.

Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi will lead the charge in the two-lap event semifinals, set for the following day.

Kenya’s combination of experienced champions and dynamic young athletes puts them in a strong position to significantly increase their medal count as the World Athletics Championships continue.
