‘CHAIRMAN’S’ DREAM: Kiplang’at in bid to end Kenya’s 10-year 5,000m gold medal wait at the World Championships

ISAIAH KIPLANGAT

Isaiah Kiplang'at Koech is keen to break Kenya's 10-year 5,000m gold medal drought at the 15th IAAF World Championships that runs at the iconic Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing's Olympic Park, in China, next year (August 22-30).

Kiplang'at, popularly known as 'Chairman', wants to make amends in his bid for a three-time stab at the global bi-annual showpiece.
Kenya has failed to win the 12-lap race gold medal since Benjamin Limo, the IAAF Athlete Representative, won the nation's sole gold medal in Helsinki, Finland, in 2005.
