KAMPALA – Ugandan long-distance runner Peruth Chemutai has confirmed her participation in the upcoming Eugene Diamond League meeting, scheduled to take place on July 5th in the United States.

Chemutai, the 2020 Tokyo Olympic gold medalist in the women’s 3,000 meters steeplechase, will line up against a highly competitive field that includes Kenya’s Faith Cherotich, who has claimed victory in three consecutive Diamond League races this season and Bahrain’s Winfred Yavi, the reigning Olympic champion.

Speaking to Uganda Radio Network (URN), Chemutai described the Diamond League series as a critical part of her build-up towards the championships.“ These Diamond Leagues are very pivotal in my preparations for the Championships.

They help me gain speed, endurance, and sharpness, which are all key to facing other elite athletes in Tokyo,” she said.
