Long-time rival Tirunesh Dibaba is back to try and win back the Olympic title she won four years ago in London and she will be teaming up with Almaz Ayana and Gelete Burka in trying to stop Vivian and her colleagues.

Vivian will also have the supporting cast of Africa champion Alice Aprot and Betsy Saina, who was second during the Olympic trials at the Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret.
