Kenya has exactly two months to prepare for the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary which kick off in August. Thus the country has ample time to put together an award-winning team and prepare the athletes adequately.

Last-minute preparations have cost the country big time in the past and there should be enough lessons for all athletics stakeholders. The government, Athletics Kenya, the technical bench and the athletes must step up to the plate and prepare for the global stage.
