Joshua Cheptegei eyes Gold in Oregon Tonight

Title Holder Joshua Cheptegei will be in the Finals of the 10,000m Marathon at 23:00 local time.

Joshua will run alongside half marathon world record Joshua Kiplimo.

Cheptegei looks to become the fourth back-to-back world 10,000m Champion after Ethiopians Haile Gebrselassie, Kenenisa Bekele and Briton Mo Fara.

Joshua has won many accolades ever since putting behind his poor display in 2017 at Kololo.

He is already an Olympic, world, world cross country and double Commonwealth Champion.

Watch out tonight for Joshua’s excessive hunger to add more medals to his name.
