Cherotich has been in fine form since winning bronze at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, going on to win two Diamond League trophies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the championship reaching the midway, Kenya hangs in second on the medal table with a total of 7 medals; 4 Gold, 1 Silver, and 2 Bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States of America sits at the summit with 10 medals: 7 Gold, 1 Silver, and 2 Bronze, while Canada closes the top three in the standings with 3 medals, all being Gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
