I’m heartbroken by the fact that I will not compete in the 800m race which I was very much looking forward to. I have prepared well for this moment for the whole season When you have trained all through and worked hard to qualify for the world championships, it is certainly difficult to accept such a situation My target was to lower my personal best in this competition There is nothing much I can do at the moment because it is out of my control. I hope to be back soon much stronger ad healthier. To the rest of the ladies in the race, I wish you all the best as you represent Kenya. I want to thank my management and Athletics Kenya medical staff for the assistance they have given me during this difficult time Eunice Sum drops out of London 2017 IAAF World Championships,August 10, 2017,By Michelle Katami External links Category:People from Kenya Category:Runners
