Kenya’s 3,000m steeplechase duo of Beatrice Chepkoech and Hyvin Kiyeng have a chance to redeem Kenya’s battered image so far at the 2020 Olympics.

The world record holder and Olympic silver medallist will today at 2pm take to the track with a chance to not only win Kenya’s first gold medal of the 2020 Olympics, but also make history in the women’s race.
