Kiplagat also confirmed that Kenya has been spurred by the great turnout of fans to embrace the championship and will seek the government approval before seeking to bid to host the 2014/2016 World Junior Championship or the World Youth Championship.

"These are events that do not require a lot of logistics. Kenya after this success can look up and seek IAAF approval to stage such competitions. But the world Championship for the elite athletes is still far away," said Kiplagat.

High altitude, lack of enough bed capacity, poor infrastructure was cited as some of the areas that hinder Kenya's bid for the World Championship.

But Kiplagat, who is a council member of the IAAF, said with good planning and collaboration, Kenya would easily qualify.
