But the huge historic and statistical records swaying lopsidedly towards Kenya’s advantage notwithstanding, “Team Cheruiyot” has left nothing to chance, promising their Norwegian rivals, “Team Ingebrigtsen,” a beautiful race when they clash Thursday virtually, over 2,000 metres. Formidable force“Team Ingebrigtsen” comprises Norwegian Ingebrigtsen brothers Jakob, Filip and Henrik, and the two teams will battle over 2,000m. “It’s obvious the race will be tricky, but we have always been the best hence we shall beat the Norwegians. “We want to do the last lap in 53 seconds and hence it will be great to finish under for four minutes and 50 seconds,” Cheruiyot, the 2018 and 2019 Diamond League champion said. “I can see some light at the end of the tunnel since I am gaining a lot here,” said Meli.
