Tokyo Olympics 1500m silver medallist and 2019 world champion Timothy Cheruiyot is on course for another podium finish after storming into the Paris 2024 Olympic Games semi-finals at a lively Stade de France on Friday.

Timothy proved his worth to sail through alongside his compatriots Brian Komen and Reynold Cheruiyot.

The trio finished among the top six in their respective heats to secure a spot in the semis slated for tomorrow (8.10pm). The final is set for Tuesday.

The Kenyans face a real threat from Olympic gold medallist Jakob Ingebrigtsen and world champion Josh Kerr who also easily sailed through into the next round. Kenya haven’t won men’s 1500m title since Asbel Kiprop's exploits at the 2008 Beijing Games.
