Yego predicts Kenyan 800m sweep in Daegu

Former world 800m champion Alfred Kirwa Yego predicted the Kenyans would dominate the men's 800 metres at this month's World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea.

"I believe the team is very strong. If we stay focused together and go to Korea with one mind, I don't see anything to stop us. We feel very proud to have a world record holder (David Rudisha) amongst us," said Yego, one of Kenya's most consistent athletes, who also won an 800m bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and a silver at the World Championships in Berlin.
