UGANDA team coaches Benjamin Longiross and Ricky Simms are confident. Boniface Kiprop is in the right shape to battle for a 10000m medal tomorrow.
A 15-hour flight from Entebbe to Beijing would ordinarily wear down anyone, but coach Longiross said Kiprop, Benjamin Kiplagat and Geoffrey Kusuro are regular long distance travelers and will adjust
quickly.
“He will rest today, and tomorrow, and will be fine for the final,†English coach/manager Simms said in Beijing early yesterday.
