Kenyans triumph in cross country event

500 athletes from 59 nations took part in the World Cross Country Championships in Bydgoszcz at the end of March. The event was an

overwhelming triumph for Kenya, whose runners won both the men’s and women’s senior titles and also the men’s and women’s team events. Four of the top six

women were Kenyans as were five of the top nine men. Best for Poland was

Katarzyna Kowalska, pictured below, second from left, who finished in 36th place. Mo Farah, in 21st

place, was best finisher for the UK. The championship

was the third world class event held in Bydgoszcz. Jerzy Skucha, President of the Polish Athletics Association, said his goal is to establish Bydgoszcz as a regular venue for world class athletic events.
