Jackson
Kivuva is a man with burning spirit, spirit to prove that he still a great
Kenyan runner in 800m He is a silver medallist from the world junior
championship 2006, behind compatriot David Rudisha The same year he won 800
meters gold at the Africa Zone 5 Junior Championships. He finished fourth at
the Kenyan trial for the 2008 Olympics, missing the ticket to Beijing.
Same
thing happened during Kenya trials for world championship 2015 where he
finished at fourth place and again failed to secure a ticket to Beijing.
This
is how he found himself in Kenyan team that will try and collect maximum medals
in Congo Brazzaville.
Kivuva
has just thing in his mind, to do what he wanted to do in world championship in
Beijing if he had qualified, win and bring that gold home. The race will be
very tactical as another great 800m runner from Botswana, Nigel Amos will be
trying to forget what happened in just concluded Beijing championship when it
mattered most by losing to one man he thought was under his control, Kenyan
David Rudisha who in not participating in the African Games.
With
Kitum, am seeing a tactical race based on calculation to win, Amos has finale
kicks and it will be how Kitum runs that will help Kivuva to nail the finale
slot, otherwise Amos may run with this Gold.
