Commonwealth 800m champion Wycliffe Kinyamal says he is praying for a great performance at the World Championships in Oregon next month in preparation for his defence of his Club Games title in Birmingham in early August. Kinyamal was on Saturday afternoon named in Team Kenya for Oregon and Birmingham and the National Police Service officer is ready to make the most of his first-ever appearance at the World Championships. "It is going to be quite special because this is the first time I have made it to the World Championships. It would mean a lot for me to perform well in Oregon, especially since I will be defending my title in Birmingham," Kinyamal said. The Birmingham-bound team, as far as the one-lap race is concerned, comprises Kinyamal, Wanyonyi and Ngeny.
