Benjamin Kigen, the Military World Games steeplechase champion, hopes his performance last month in Wuhan, China will propel him to do well at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

Kigen, who is also the Africa Games champion, missed out on the medals at the World Championships in Doha, Qatar, but bounced back strongly to wrest the gold in Wuhan.
