(ENGLISH): GEOFFREY KAMWOROR TO DEFEND HIS WORLD CROSS COUNTRY TITLE IN KAMPALA Not since the five-year reign of Kenenisa Bekele from 2002 to 2006 has a senior man managed to win back-to-back world cross-country titles, but Geoffrey Kamworor will be aiming to do exactly that at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships Kampala 2017 on Sunday, March 26. Sunday’s race will mark exactly one year since his triumph at the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships Cardiff 2016, which also happens to be his most recent victory. Some of Geoffrey’s impressive performances: – 2011 World Junior Cross Country Champion. – 3rd in his marathon debut at Berlin 2012 in 2:06:12. – Fastest half marathon of the year 2013 clocking 58:54 in RAK. – 2014 World Half Marathon Champion in 59:07. – 2015 World Senior Cross Country Champion. – In 2016 Geoffrey became, despite a fall at the start, only the third men in history to win the World Half Marathon Championships more than once. He took the win in 59:10. —————————————- GEOFFREY KAMWOROR DEFENDERÁ SU TÍTULO MUNDIAL DE CROSS COUNTRY EN KAMPALA No desde el reinado de Kenenisa Bekele de 2002 a 2006, un hombre ha logrado ganar títulos mundiales consecutivos en cross country, pero Geoffrey Kamworor intentará hacer exactamente eso en el Campeonato Mundial de Cross Country Kampala 2017, el domingo 26 de marzo. La carrera del domingo marcará exactamente un año desde su triunfo en el Campeonato Mundial de Medio Maratón de la IAAF en Cardiff 2016, que también es su victoria más reciente. Algunas de las impresionantes actuaciones de Geoffrey: – Campeón del Mundo Junior de Cross Country 2011. – 3ero en su debut en maratón en Berlín 2012 en 2:06:12. – La media maratón más rápida del año 2013 con 58:54 en RAK. – Campeón Mundial de Medio Maratón 2014 en 59:07. – Campeón del Mundo Senior de Cross Country 2015. – En 2016 Geoffrey se convirtió, a pesar de una caída en el inicio, en el tercer hombre en la historia en ganar el Campeonato Mundial de Medio Maratón más de una vez. Tomó la victoria en 59:10. • #somosrunners #run #athletics #atletismo #correr #crosscountry #xc #geoffreykamworor #worldcrosscountrychampionships #kampala2017 @iaafkampala2017

Kamworor is relaxed
KAMPALA (UGA): Geoffrey Kamworor has said he doesn’t feel any pressure ahead of his title defence in Kampala, informs Capital FM. “Normally there’s a lot of pressure when you are the defending champion because everyone is looking at you but I am not under any pressure because I have prepared well and done my best in training and ready to fight with anyone,” he said.
