Kenya will look to Kipsang and Nyaga to carry its hopes of a gold medal in a 5km race set for Saturday in Copenhagen, the-star.co.ke reports.
The two runners are named as the leading figures in the Kenyan challenge at the event in the Danish capital, according to the outlet. The race is scheduled for Saturday, with the Kenyan pair positioned at the front of the country's effort to claim top honors.
The-star.co.ke did not provide further details on the field, the course or the race schedule in its report.
Kenya's distance-running reputation gives added weight to the outing, though the-star.co.ke's report does not include times, past results or other background on either athlete. The outlet frames the race squarely around the two runners and their role in the medal hunt.
The event adds another international road-racing appearance to Kenya's calendar, with the spotlight falling on Kipsang and Nyaga as the athletes expected to contend at the front of the pack.
What to watch next: whether Kipsang and Nyaga deliver Kenya's gold when the race goes off on Saturday in Copenhagen, and how the result is received back home.
