Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Jacob Kiplimo has played a low-key card since suffering an acute injury near the hamstring area of the right leg in early August.<\/b><\/p>\n

The prolific long-distance runner then missed the Budapest World Athletics Championships in Hungary but he returned to full strength by setting the pace during the Berlin Marathon in Germany.<\/p>\n

Kiplimo returned to full competition in style by matching his favourite-tag billing to win the Cross Internacional de Atapuerca in Spain on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not bad,\u201d he said in a brief chat after posting a winning time of 26 minutes after braving gusts of wind and then rain over the 9km route.<\/p>\n

The race is part of Kiplimo\u2019s attempt to retain his title come the World Athletics Cross-country Championships in Belgrade, Serbia next March.<\/p>\n

Kiplimo won the senior men\u2019s 10km world x-country title in Bathurst, Australia seven months ago.<\/p>\n

He also won this event in Atapuerca in 2018 before picking a silver medal over the senior men’s 10km behind Ugandan compatriot Joshua Cheptegei at the 2019 World x-country championships in Aarhus, Denmark.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another Ugandan Sarah Chelangat came second in the women\u2019s 8km race, posting a time of 25:36 behind Kenyan Beatrice Chebet.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Samuel Kibet won the 44th Marseille-Cassis Race, conquering the 20km route linking the two cities in one hour and 36 seconds.<\/p>\n

In Ireland, Geoffrey Kusuro finished second at the Dublin Marathon after clocking a time of 2:10:45 behind Ethiopian Husen Kemal who posted a new course time of 2:06:52.<\/p>\n

Kusuro is still outside the qualifying time of 2:08:10 to the Paris 2024 Olympics and will need another race early next year to try again for a ticket to France.<\/p>\n
