After several failed attempts, Viola Kibiwott is keen to go one better when the 15th IAAF World Athletics Championships kick off in Beijing, China, on Saturday next week.

Ms Kibiwott, who made the national team while a pupil at Matungen Primary School in Keiyo South, is the only one among six athletes, who will return to the iconic Birds Nest Stadium in Beijing, China, after competing in the 2008 Olympic Games, despite having failed to win a medal then.
