NAIROBI (KEN): The final gold meeting of the inaugural World Athletics Continental Tour is the 1st Kip Keino Classic on Saturday as Kenya stages its first one-day meeting at this level. Athletics Kenya President Jackson Tuwei expressed his joy seeing Kenya host the meet and added: “Our event in Nairobi will be different compared to other Continental Tour Meet because we not only have core events but also, we made it a national championship to give other athletes who have not had a chance to compete due to the Covid-19 pandemic.” The meet has attracted 97 foreign athletes, 65 men and 32 women, from 24 countries. The government has footed the entire budget for the Kip Keino Classic and is already making preparations for the 2021 World U20 Championships that will be next year in Nairobi.
