Eldoret comes alive this morning with the fifth Athletics Kenya track and field meeting at the new-look Kipchoge Keino Stadium.There is plenty of mouth-watering shows on the card, which sets the stage for bragging rights ahead of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on August 5-21.

From world javelin champion Julius Yego’s scream, world 800m record holder David Rudisha’s powerful kicks to world 400m hurdles champion Nicholas Bett’s new-found celebratory antics, the battle will no doubt stand out as mini-Olympics minus the Ethiopians.
