In his bid to stop Norwegian and British dominance in the 1500m, Brian Komen has promised to deliver a medal for Kenya at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
African Games 1500m champion Brian Komen has promised to deliver a medal for Kenya if he makes the cut to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Komen, the latest 1500m runner to emerge from Kenya, has managed to cement his name and track and field fans cannot wait to see what the athlete is capable of as he gears up to take on the creme de la creme of track and field this season.
The Kip Keino Classic champion has been in great shape so far, crediting all his wins to training well and working hard. Many might wonder where he has been following the faulty performances from Team Kenya in the 1500m.
“I was in school, now I’m back and I’ve been training very hard and that’s why I’m here. I was studying at Egerton University pursuing a course in Microbiology," Komen said.
“When I feel like I want to go, I just decide to go all in. I feel like my body is doing okay and I’ve been training very hard. I can’t say I’m going to win a gold but God knows that. I’m going to fight for a medal, that’s my goal.
“I’m focusing on Paris and I want to win a medal and if I manage to win gold, that’s well and good. My coach used to run and he really motivates me."
The 25-year-old has been unbeaten in the 1500m so far this season, starting from the African Games where took gold before dominating the Kip Keino Classic.
He was also in action at the Diamond League Meeting in Doha, making his long-awaited debut, and managed to stun the world once again with his tactical run. Komen later stole the show at the National Championships, owing to the fact that it was his first time competing there.
