Kenya's Jelimo backs from Paris, eyes Olympics
Adjust font size:

Kenya's world junior 800m record holder Pamela Jelimo arrived in the country late Monday from Paris and is looking ahead to win more medals in the Beijing Olympic Games next month.

The 18-year-old sensation who has a new world junior record of 1 minute and 54.97 seconds set in the Paris Golden League meeting last Friday is expected to link up with the Beijing-bound team in Nairobi on Tuesday.

Jelimo will run the remaining two legs in Zurich and Brussels after the Olympic Games, which she is widely expected to win.

The season best time in the women's two-lap race was, however, set by the world 1,500 meters record holder Yelena Soboleva who ran 1:54.48 during the Russian Olympic trials in Moscow at the weekend.

"I am in my best form, but my confidence has been shaken a bit by the Russians," Jelimo said on arrival from Paris according to the Daily Nation on Tuesday.

"However, I get solace in the fact that Soboleva opted to set a fast time in her own country, and before the Olympics. This gives me time to analyse and plan on how to counter it. I will be running knowing that she is also in the race and surprises can occur."

Jelimo, together with world champion Janeth Jepkosgei, will face the task of containing the Russians, who have, for unknown reasons, opted to skip the lucrative Golden League competition this season.

"I do not understand why they have decided to skip the Grand Prix or Golden League. But that is no worry, I feel that if we were on the same track with her, then things would have been different," said Jelimo.

Jelimo said she won her fourth Golden League race in Paris to stay in contention for the 66 million shillings jackpot with only two races in Zurich and Brussels in September remaining in the Golden League series.
