Earlier this week, the 20 athletes named to our team for the IAAF World Athletics Championships entered their respective camps in Kampala and Kapchorwa to start preparations for one of the biggest athletics event due in August in London.

 

Yet, despite the federation naming a strong side, there are two big names missing out; former Olympic and world champion Stephen Kiprotich and 2007 5000m bronze medalist Moses Kipsiro. The duo has competitively represented the nation in the past but this time round according to the Uganda Athletics Federation, Kiprotich and Kipsiro opted out claiming it has come at a time when they are physically out of shape and cannot cope in the short period left. The world championships will run from August 3-15 2017.
