2022 MTN Marathon gold winner Janat Chemusto has rejoined Global Sport Communications from Rosa Associati International Sports Management Club.

 The Police Athletics Club stalwart has been training alongside world half-marathon record holder Jacob Kiplimo at the Italian side (ROSA) under their country resident coach Peter Chelangat and Lacopo Brasi. 

 The 24-year-old managed to win a couple of medals during her short spell at Rosa having clinched a bronze (5K) at the World Islamic Solidarity Games 2022 in Konya, Turkey.

 Chemusto has been a target for a couple of management agencies in world athletics, but she decided to rejoin the Netherlands-founded Global Sport Communications, which she left a couple of years ago on mutual grounds.

 “It feels good to come back home. The management and coach have shared their interesting expectations and high standards,” Janat said in an exclusive interview.

 The long-distance runner is contracted at Global until 2024 after penning a one-year deal which is subject to renewal based on national and international performances.

 The prudently gifted youngster now trains alongside the likes of back-to-back world champion and record holder Joshua Cheptegei, 2022 Commonwealth Games Marathon winner Victor Kiplangat and her close friend, Olympics Games Steeplechase reigning champ Peruth Chemutai.

 At their Kapchorwa town-based camp, Janat will be coached by Dutchman Addy Ruiter who is an experienced athletics coach and this could benefit her.

Besides coaching, sports gear, accommodation, stipend, international races, meals, massage and representation are some of the services the Police officer will be entitled to as per the contract.

 Although she started off as a steeplechaser, Chemusto specialises in long-distance running such as 5km, 8km, 10km, cross country, half-marathon and mountain race.
