World record holder David Rudisha believes Kenya has what it takes to retain its overall title at the World Athletics Under-20 Championships, which began yesterday at Kasarani Stadium.

Rudisha, who began his athletics career 15 years ago at the Junior event and won gold at the 2006 showpiece in Beijing, China, feels that the event will serve as a springboard for future Kenyan stars.
