Kenya’s four IAAF Diamond League winners including Hellen Obiri will compete in Doha – the first leg of the 2019 IAAF Diamond League – which will be held for the first time in the state-of-the-art Khalifa International Stadium on May 3.

Obiri, who will contest the 3000m in Doha, made history this year by winning gold at the World Cross Country Championships in Aarhus, Denmark.
