Athletics coach Julius Kirwa has turned the heat on Athletics Kenya for failing to plan for the challenging course in Aarhus, Denmark as the Cross Country team struggled to keep pace with Ethiopia and Uganda.

The uphill, downhill, mud and windy conditions appeared to take toll on the Kenyans with only world 5000m champion Hellen Obiri and Beatrice Chebet- the reigning world Under-20 5000m champion managing gold medals in women’s senior 10km and women’s junior 6km races respectively.
