Kenya will have to wait for another one year to reclaim the women’s 10,000m title at the World Athletics Championships that run in Budapest, Hungary, next year on August 19-27.

The nation has not won gold in the race in the last two editions of the global showpiece -2017 London and Doha in 2015 -and lost it on Saturday at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon, USA.
