The runner-up in the world at 5,000 meters, the Kenyan Beatrice Chebetwill participate this coming Sunday in XVIII Cross to Atapuerca as one of the favorite athletes for the final victory, sources from the organization reported on Tuesday.
Chebet, who in addition to the Silver in the 5,000 meters of the last World Cup also won the Diamond League within this distance, will try to make up for the result of the Cross Atapuerca last year.
In a tight final, Chebet was unable to overcome the Eritrean Ghebreneyohannes, who finally prevailed in the absolute test by just one second difference.
Her compatriot Lucy Maiwa Muli, who just won the Cross de Soria, will also start the women’s absolute race of the Cross Atapuerca.
The participation of continental athletes will be completed with the presence of Aimee Pratt (Great Britain), seventh in the World Championship in the 3,000 obstacles contested in Eugene, and also seventh in the European Championship in Munich at the same distance.
With her, the Italian Nadia Battocletti, seventh in the European at 5,000 meters and the Portuguese Salome Rocha and Sara Ribeiro.
