"Watch out for Ugandan athletes," Obiri warns ahead of Worlds

Nairobi, Aug 22 (Xinhua) Olympic 5,000m silver medalist Hellen Obiri says Uganda will be the dark horse in the long distance races at the World Championships.
Obiri, who secured her dream to make a double attempt to win the 10,000m and 5,000m races at the Championships, says it is no longer safe to ignore Uganda athletes' recent rise in the distance races and asked her teammates to treat their East Africa neighbors with respect as they hold the Ethiopia, Bahrain, USA and Qatar runners at arm's length.
Obiri will team up with world 10,000 meter bronze medalist Agnes Jebet and Rosemary Wanjiru in their bid to end Kenya's eight-year wait to win gold in the distance.
