Top athletes could miss World Cross Country

THE national athletics federation (RAF) is skeptical about Rwanda’s performance in the upcoming World Cross Country Championship in Bydgoszcz, Poland after reports that some of the country’s top athletes may not get involved. On top of Disi Dieudonné, who is certain to miss the event as he prepares for the April World marathon championships in Paris, Rotterdam and London, Sylvain Rukundo, Godfrey Rutayisire, Jean Baptiste Simukeka and Gervais Hakizimana are all major doubts.
