NAIROBI, March 16 (Xinhua) -- World Half marathon champion Geoffrey Kamworor said Saturday that he will return to track competition targeting to win the world championships in Doha, Qatar in October.
Kamworor, the New York marathon bronze medalist, said he still has unfinished business on the track before fully turning to the ultimate distance from 2020.
"The Olympics in Tokyo and the world championships in Doha are the two events I intend to compete as a track competitor. However, thereafter, I will move fully to the marathon," he said in Embu, eastern Kenya where he is training with the Kenya team to the World Cross Country Championships.
Kamworor, who has won the cross country title on the last two occasions in Guiyang, China in 2015 and Kampala, Uganda in 2017, believes he will be at his peak form to claim his third title in Aarhus, Denmark on March 30.
"I have a strong believe it will be gold for me. At the moment it is about team work, but as always the final kilometer is upon each athlete to work his best moves and win," he said.
