Beatrice Chebet optimistic ahead of World Championships in Budapest
World Cross-Country champion Beatrice Chebet has trained her eyes on the forthcoming World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary from tomorrow.
Chebet who will compete in the 5000m has declared that she has trained well and is intent on making a podium finish. In an interview with a local vernacular radio station, Chebet said that she has been burning the midnight oil on how she will vanquish her opponents in the race.
“I have been training hard knowing what is ahead of me. I won’t preempt what is up my sleeves but just watch what kind of performance I shall produce in the day. But let me just say what is in my mind is the gold medal,” said Chebet.
She added: “I have been preparing and training hard for the World championships. Obviously, I have learnt some lessons and I shall take the meeting head on,” she asserted.
She also expressed confidence that those representing the country in the race will finish with the medal. “This is one of the best teams to have ever been assembled and if the members follow the coaches' instructions, it will be one of those to beat,” said Chebet.
