“The next few years, I can run the (1500m) world record of (Hicham) El Guerrouj.I can make it. Even 3000m is possible to me.”
Those are some bold words from Etyang, who was 2nd at the Kenyan Trials this year but didn't get to go to Tokyo due to not have enough drug tests.
Remember at the Kenyan Trails he beat, Timothy Cheruiyot and Abel Kipsang, who would go on to finish second and fourth in the Olympic final. That being said, he didn't end up winning World Jrs. Battling a hamstring injury, he crossed the line 3rd but was Dqd.
