BRIMIN BRIMMING WITH CONFIDENCE: Kipruto eyes glory at World Championships

For all his efforts in the 14 years he has competed in 3,000m steeplechase race, Brimin Kipruto has never felt the pressure so much to deliver a medal like will be the case at the Beijing World Championships, which starts on August 22.

At 30, Kipruto seems to have been ever present on the track in the water and barrier event, yet he still has the hunger to deliver the medal in Beijing on his return to the city that saw him strike his first Olympic gold back in 2008.
