NAIROBI (KEN): Geoffrey Kamworor says he will discuss with his management which of his world half and New York City Marathon titles he will defend, following the former’s rescheduling to this autumn. World Athletics announced that the half event would now take place on 17 October rather than this month, due to coronavirus. The winner of the last three editions told Xinhua: “It will be tricky because I intend to defend my crown in New York. But we will discuss it when the time comes.”
