NAIROBI, July 25 -- Former world javelin champion Julius Yego is not amused, as his coach Joseph Musonik was omitted from Kenya team for the Africa Games.

"I need a coach to guide me and point out my mistakes when I make my throws. Field events competitions are technical in nature and need close supervision. Small details are critical for a perfect competition," Yego said in Nairobi on Thursday.

Yego, who has been battling injuries and loss of form, hopes to redeem his career in Morocco when the continent's mini-Olympics will be held from August 16-30.

However, the decision by Athletics Kenya (AK) not to include a field events coach in the line-up has left the Africa javelin champion frustrated.

"After years of throwing, I have learnt a lot and my experience may help me, but what about other field athletes in the team, who will guide them," Yego added.

Last year, Yego was at loss during the Commonwealth Games and the Africa Championships in Nigeria as he had to do without a coach.

But he is now putting his foot down to demand a reverse of the decision and allow his tactician to travel with the team to Rabat.

"It sounds ridiculous when you train with your coach from Monday to Friday only for them to disappear during the championships," he said.

Niggling injuries saw the 29-year old miss out on winning gold in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. He settled for silver and was unable to defend his world title in London in 2017.
