Beatrice Chebet and Jacob Kiplimo repeated as World Cross Country champions last weekend in Belgrade as Kenya displayed its usual dominance at the event, winning all three senior team titles on offer.

The World Cross Country Championships are upon us, with the Serbian capital of Belgrade picking up the event after Croatia faced problems late last year. Beatrice Chebet has returned to defend her women's title and is bolstered by one of the strongest Kenyan teams ever assembled. Meanwhile, Joshua Cheptegei and Jacob Kiplimo will look to keep the men's title in Ugandan hands – a task they have been successfully undertaking since 2019.
