Emmanuel Wanyonyi says his main focus is on the Olympic Games

Youngster Emmanuel Wanyonyi has insisted that his main focus is on the Olympic Games and hinted at possibly missing the All-African Games in Accra, Ghana.

Reigning World 800m silver medalist Emmanuel Wanyonyi is not resting on his laurels as he seeks to qualify for the Olympic Games scheduled for Paris, France later this year.

After a great start to his season at the Sirikwa Classic Cross-country, Wanyonyi could not stop emphasizing how the Olympic Games mean a lot to him and why he wants to make his maiden appearance at the event.

“I want to compete at this year’s Olympics because that is such a huge event and it only comes after every four years,” Wanyonyi said.

As he prepares for the global bonanza, Wanyonyi is slowly sharpening his claws through training extensively as he plans on where to open his track season.

He also expressed uncertainty ahead of the All-African Games in Accra, Ghana, noting that his body is yet to pick up well.
