    Although the 29-year-old World 5,000m and 10,000m champion didn’t take part in the Kenya Police Cross-country Championships, many expected her to get a wild card to the National Championships on February 16 at Uhuru Gardens.

    Cheruiyot’s coach Moses Kiplagat said the athlete wants to concentrate on training to defend her two World Athletics Championship titles between August 10 to 18 in Moscow, Russia.

    But before the World Championships, Kiplagat said Cheruiyot, who is currently training in Kaptagat, intends to take part in a series of IAAF Permit meetings to gauge her form.
