The national relays team arrived here in Nassau, Bahamas beaming with confidence as the IAAF World Relays start today at the 15,000, state-of-the-art, Thomas A. Robinson Stadium.

Despite having an almost entirely new-look team after withdrawal of star athletes due to various reasons ranging from injuries to job commitments, head Coach Sammy Rono is confident of improving on their first edition’s performance.
Kenya bagged four medals (three golds in 4x1500m men and women, 4x800m men and silver in 4x800m women), in the inaugural edition last year, to finish third with 35 points, 25 points behind overall winners United States.
