Uganda, Oct. 7 -- Joshua Cheptegei. Yes, that man! He is the man on the lips of the world's athletics audience after a stellar surge and grip of honours in global long distance running.

That is highlighted by now three straight world records (WRs) over the 10km, 5km and 5000m over the past over 303 days.

Just to add, he is the reigning World Cross-country, double Commonwealth, 5000m Diamond League (DL) and world 10000m champion. Pretty odd for a Ugandan, to be honest!

Had it not been the coronavirus pandemic, Cheptegei would probably also be the 10000m Olympic champion now.

Regardless, the Ugandan star can still scale new heights when the world turns eyes on him tonight in Valencia, Spain.

Ever ready Chep

Cheptegei is hoping to break ...
