The 2015 world champion  in women's 3,000m steeplechase Hyvin Kiyeng believes it would be suicidal to underrate the threat posed by Kenya's unfancied opponents in the water and hurdles race. 

Kiyeng instead expects all participants in the race to put their best foot forward considering the stature of the Olympics. 

"I cannot say anything or pinpoint any threat in particular. You remember in 2017 at the World Championships; no one expected those Americans to perform so well and yet they did. Being a championship the most important thing is for everyone to stay focused because even if you are a champion but are not focused, you will lose," Kiyeng said. 

The Americans she is referring to are Emma Coburn and Courtney Frerichs who upstaged a star-studded field to clinch gold and silver  respectively in the women's 3,000m steeplechase at the 2017 World Championships in London, UK. 

Kiyeng, then the defending champion, finished third to take home bronze.   

With this warning in mind, Kiyeng plans to work closely with her countryman, world record holder Beatrice Chepkoech, and 2014 Commonwealth gold medalist Purity Kirui, to ensure that Kenya will not return empty-handed in the game starting on August 1. "Teamwork is important to us because we have a good understanding of our teammates. We train very well together, and I have full confidence in my teammates that we can do great things. The three of us may be receiving awards. Taiwan." The Olympic silver medalist said. She admits that adding an Olympic gold medal to her medal collection has always been her idea, and she believes that she is in the best condition to finally achieve this goal. I won the silver medal in 2016, and this time I will work hard to win the gold medal. However, like any other champion, it is not easy, but I will try my best," he said. Kiyeng hopes to continue to maintain his excellent form on the court so far this season, the last time he was in the Monaco Diamond League, where he defeated Chepkoc with a personal best of 9:03.82.
