NAIROBI Mikko Rantanen Jersey Sale , Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- Defending Chicago Marathon champions Abel Kirui and Florence Kiplagat of Kenya are plotting to run fast time in this year's event, which will be held on Oct. 8.


Alongside the two champions, organisers have also lined up world record-holder Dennis Kimetto of Kenya Gabriel Landeskog Jersey Sale , half marathon world record-holder Zersenay Tadese and three-time Olympic gold medalist Tirunesh Dibaba.


"I want to improve my personal best and Chicago fast course could give me just that. The competition I have is strong and it will spur me forward to run faster," Kirui said on Thursday from Eldoret.


Last year, it boiled down to tactics as Kirui held off compatriot Dickson Chumba to win by three seconds in 2:11:23.


The two-time world champion has a personal best of 2:05:04 and finished fourth at this year's London Marathon in 2:07:45 Nathan MacKinnon Jersey Sale , his fastest time since winning the second of his world titles in 2011.


Kimetto returns to Chicago for the first time since setting a course record of 2:03:45 in 2013.


Prior to that, he ran the fastest marathon debut in history in Berlin in 2012 (2:04:16) and in 2014 he became the first athlete in history to cover the marathon within 2:03, clocking a world record of 2:02:57 in Berlin.


An ankle and knee injury sustained in training early this year forced Kimetto out of Boston marathon and the 35-year-old will be keen to improve his fitness in Chicago.


Tadese Mikko Rantanen Avalanche Jersey , a six-time world champion on the roads and cross-country, has only finished three marathons.


While his official personal best is 2:10:41, the 2004 Olympic 10 Gabriel Landeskog Avalanche Jersey ,000m bronze medallist ran 2:06:51 in the Breaking2 marathon so will be looking to replicate that kind of form in Chicago.


Kenya's Stephen Sambu made his marathon debut in Chicago in 2016, finishing fifth in 2:13:35. With PBs of 26:54.61 for 10,000m and 1:00:41 for the half marathon Nathan MacKinnon Avalanche Jersey , it would appear the 29-year-old is capable of significantly improving his marathon PB.


Japanese quartet Kohei Mastsumura, Yuki Takamiya, Chihiro Miyawaki and Ryoichi Matsuo add further strength to this year's field.


Matsumara is the fastest of the four Mikko Rantanen Womens Jersey , having set a PB of 2:08:09 at the 2014 Tokyo Marathon. Kiplagat returns to chase her third title in a row and her fourth podium finish.


The 2010 world half marathon champion has a marathon PB of 2:19:44 and held the half marathon world record until earlier this year.


Dibaba started 2017 by becoming the third-fastest woman of all time when she finished second in London in 2:17:56. Dibaba is a three-time Olympic gold medallist, a five-time world champion on the track and a four-time winner of senior titles at the World Cross.


She made her marathon debut in 2014 with a third-place finish in London in 2:20:35. More recently, she took the silver medal in the 10 Gabriel Landeskog Womens Jersey ,000m at the IAAF World Championships London 2017.


Valentine Kipketer returns to Chicago after finishing third last year in 2:23:41. The Kenyan finished sixth at this year's Boston Marathon.

NAIROBI， Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- Kenya' s Sports Cabinet Secretary Hassan Wario was questioned on Wednesday by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over irregularities during the just concluded Rio Olympics.


Wario was summoned for investigations following complaints of stealing of uniforms， accrediting bloated list of 'joyriders' at the expense of coaches some of whom were left out of the Rio Games and fraud in ticketing.


DIC Director Ndegwa Muhoro summoned him and asked him to go and help them unraveling the saga.


""The DCI called him to help in starting the probe into the complaints by the athletes at large. He did his part and he is not a suspect，"" a police officer close to investigations said.


When he arrived at DCI headquarters， he was handed to a team from Serious Crime Unit that is pursuing the matter that took his statement.


Sources said Wario blamed the mess on National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) officials who were handling the matter. Among those named and were being sought include Team Kenya' s chef de mission Stephen arap Soi and also NOCK deputy treasurer.


The distribution of kits to Kenya' s Olympic Team has been put under scrutiny after Nike registered disappointment with the manner in which NOCK officials handled the issue.


Furious Nike executive officials sought an explanation from the committee， sparking outrage across social media platforms in Kenya.


Wario told the officers he did not have the list of those who travelled to Rio because the matter was being handled by NOCK.


Also being sought was vice NOCK secretary general James Chacha Maroa and NOCK secretary-general Francis Katana Paul.


There were complaints more than 200 joyriders travelled to Rio for the just concluded Olympics affecting resources that were meant for the athletes， their coaches and managers.


Some coaches were not accredited and had no access to the training facilities where their services were needed， athletes complained. The team pursuing the matter will also interrogate a number of athletes as part of their probe.


There were complaints sports kits for athletes were stolen， allowances not paid and the athletes were mistreated in general.


Despite the fiasco， the athletes performed well getting six gold， six silver and one bronze and finished position 15 and first in Africa.


Kenya was officially represented by 52 athletes， three boxers， 14 rugby players.
