Beatrice Chepkoech, the new world 3,000m steeplechase record holder, says she is not under pressure to perform well as she leads the Kenyan onslaught at the 21st Africa Senior Athletics Championships that start in Asaba, Nigeria, on Wednesday.
Chepkoech, who set a jaw-dropping 8:44.32 world record inside Stade Louis II in Monaco last week to erase the 8:52.78 mark set by Kenyan-born-Bahraini Ruth Jebet, has put the Africa title in her cross hairs and longs pick ticket to the IAAF Inter-Continental Championships set for Ostrava, Czech Republic, in September.
