AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> When Nicholas Kimeli looks back at 2020, he is under no illusion how fortunate he has been to have such a successful season during the most unexpected of years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a great job,\u201d he said recently, not long after pacing Joshua Cheptegei to a world 10,000m record in Valencia in October.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been everywhere. I have met great people like the President; people I never thought I would meet in life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimeli\u2019s outing in Valencia, the City of Running, was a particularly good one as the world record mission was accomplished.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did our best and we\u2019re happy that we achieved our target,\u201d he said, his face beaming with pride.<\/p>\n

Kimeli was instructed to lead Cheptegei for 5000-6000m and then drop out. After going through half way in 13:08, Kimeli dropped back but finished the race in 27:12.98. Cheptegei, meanwhile, went on to break the world record with 26:11.00.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not about fighting, but finishing the race,\u201d said Kimeli. \u201cIf you drop out of one race, it then becomes easy for your mind to convince you to drop out of another race when things get hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twice this year Kimeli has been part of athletics history. Two months before the 10,000m race in Valencia, Kimeli had finished second to Cheptegei over 5000m in Monaco in a PB of 12:51.78 as the Ugandan star won in a world record of 12:35.36. Kimeli\u2019s manager Michel Boeting described it as a \u201cmature and brave\u201d race.<\/p>\n

Despite a less-than-ideal preparation due to the coronavirus pandemic, Kimeli enjoyed a strong 2020 season. Along with his runner-up finishes to Cheptegei, Kimeli was victorious over 10,000m in Lieden, clocking a PB of 26:58.97, and over 5000m at the Continental Tour Gold meeting in Nairobi, running 13:08.32 at altitude.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were training without knowing where we were going to race,\u201d he says. \u201cBut I\u2019m thankful I was able to compete this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Up until March, Kimeli still had his sights set on the African cross country championships at the start of the year, but then Covid-19 struck and lockdowns took effect. With training camps closed and races cancelled, Kimeli lost focus and his hopes were dashed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy June, I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d be able to set a personal best or a world lead or even run under 27 minutes in 10,000m,\u201d he says. \u201cI was training alone; my routine became fartlek (speed play) and farming. I was training to maintain my fitness so as to not get fat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortunately, some top-level meetings were able to take place in the second half of the year and Kimeli was inspired to get back into racing shape.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree days before I was due to travel in Monaco, I still didn\u2019t have a visa. It eventually got sorted and it ended up being my best race of the season. My second-best race was at the Kip Keino classic in Nairobi. I was happy to perform at home and I was not expecting to run under 13:13 in Nairobi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Off the back of his 2020 performances, 22-year-old Kimeli is now confident he can break 12:50 for 5000m this year.<\/p>\n

A story for every race<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kimeli grew up in Kaptale, in Kapkitui village, Nandi County. He is the second-last born in a family of eight children; three boys and five girls. His brother Eliud Kimeli, a Kenya Defence Force soldier since 2009, is the only family member involved in athletics.<\/p>\n

Kimeli\u2019s parents were farmers and provided for Kimeli and his siblings the basic needs of education (primary) and food. They ensured their children never went to bed hungry.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy life was not easy, but our parents tried,\u201d says Kimeli. \u201cThey showed us the way, instilled discipline, emphasised the importance of good character, loving people and going to church.\u201d<\/p>\n

Athletics wasn\u2019t Kimeli\u2019s first love \u2013 volleyball was.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a good booster; I was a good spiker also,\u201d said Kimeli, who played a lot of volleyball in primary school and still likes to play now when he has some free time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really liked it and I represented my school at the provincial level. I did well in volleyball, and even now I really miss it.\u201d<\/p>\n

But things didn\u2019t work out in volleyball.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey replaced me with someone who was better than me,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd then I came to discover that in athletics, it is you alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went to Kekiptir Primary School until class six when he moved to Iten to stay with his elder brother. Unsurprisingly, it was during his time at Iten Primary School that he was exposed more to athletics.<\/p>\n

At the Primary school games, one of his first big competitions, he won bronze over 5000m. He would also compete at the annual Ndalat Gaa Cross Country, starting out in the children\u2019s race in 2009 and eventually going on to win the senior title in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cI earned some money \u2013 10,000 shillings (US$100) \u2013 when I won,\u201d he recalls. \u201cI gave some to my parents, and then I bought shoes and a tracksuit to help me progress in athletics. I saved the remainder.\u201d<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t always have running shoes, so to raise the 300 shillings (US$3) required for a pair, he started rearing chickens. He was eventually able to pay for shoes, t-shirt and a tracksuit.<\/p>\n

In 2014, armed with a folder and having just graduated from primary school, he met his manager Michel Boeting.<\/p>\n

Kimeli preferred training camps to school. Even so, in 2015 he joined St Francis High School in Kimuron, the same school David Rudisha attended, and he competed at the East Africa secondary schools competitions. The school and running requirements never matched, Boeting said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real low was him getting into an argument with the cook over the amount of food served,\u201d said Boeting. \u201cAnd this was after he had sneaked out of school for a competition he was not released for.\u201d<\/p>\n

High school wasn\u2019t a smooth ride for years and Kimeli\u2019s educational journey ended in 2017 at a different school.<\/p>\n

For Boeting, though, each year provided another glimpse of Kimeli\u2019s raw ability. And in 2018 they began to polish that talent when Kimeli joined the Adidas Camp in Iten, managed by legendary coach Brother Colm O\u2019Connell.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were supported without paying anything, the food was provided by Brother Colm,\u201d said Kimeli. \u201cThey help athletes from schools or from low-income backgrounds like mine, so I really appreciate the support they have given me since I was young athlete.<\/p>\n

While still studying at school, Kimeli would go for morning and evening runs. \u201cI was trying to work hard so that I could improve my life,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was difficult, but I tried.\u201d<\/p>\n

International breakthrough<\/strong><\/p>\n

His first competition for Kenya was the 2017 African U20 Championships in Tlemcen, Algeria, where he won gold in the 10,000m and bronze in the 5000m. One year later, in his first season as a senior, he competed at the Commonwealth Games, and in 2019 he finished eighth in the 5000m at the World Championships in Doha.<\/p>\n

\u201cI miscalculated the race in Doha,\u201d he says. \u201cI stayed at the back and could not make it to the front in good time. By the time I realised, it was too late to respond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having previously played team sports, Kimeli knows that he is the only person accountable when it comes to an individual sport such as athletics.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that athletics is important to Kimeli. It\u2019s his calling, he says as he sips a cup of latte. Having established himself as one of the best in the world this year, his next aim is to build his profile and put his name out there alongside some of the greats in athletics.<\/p>\n

For now, there is plenty of greatness surrounding Kimeli at his training base in Kaptagat in the form of Eliud Kipchoge and Geoffrey Kamworor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look up to Eliud Kipchoge because he advises and encourages us that we will make it,\u201d says Kimeli. \u201cWe are there with him in camp. I\u2019m also friends with Joshua Cheptegei, Rhonex Kipruto, Geoffrey Kamworor and others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Kipchoge and Kamworor have done, Kimeli hopes to one day move up to the marathon and to race the London Marathon. His ultimate aspiration, though, is to win Olympic and World Championships medals on the track.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe the medal will come in Tokyo or in 2022 at the World Athletics Championships,\u201d said Kimeli. \u201cBut I\u2019m hopeful that it will happen in Tokyo.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
