"In Morocco, I expected to have good results and yes it came. When we were here before we left for Morocco, we had very good training sessions and yes, I was feeling I could throw far and I was happy," the Olympics silver medalist asserted.

For all his belief that he can produce another stunning performance in Doha, Yego is also aware the race for gold in his event will be an open affair since none of the top contenders have endured a run on the global stage.

"I think in the last few years, Javelin has been so diversified across the world. In 2017 it was Africa, 2016 Germany, and Europe and now we have from the Caribbean, so I think we are coming up," he acknowledged.

Estonian Magnus Kirt comes to Doha as the No. 1 Javelin thrower based on the new IAAF ranking system with Yego down the order in 10th.

Olympic winner, Thomas Rohrer and defending world champion, Johannes Vetter of Germany also feature in the top 10.

Yego was born in Cheptonon, a village in the Rift Valley, in January 1989 and grew up loving football and running, but when he was lapped by two rivals in a 10,000m school race, he turned his attention elsewhere.

He would cut and shape a javelin from tree branches and although his parents thought he should concentrate on his studies, Yego persisted and became national junior champion.

The East African country has a rich tradition in distance running, but a lack of success in field events meant there was no-one qualified to coach Yego, who studied the likes of triple Olympic champion Jan Zelezny on YouTube.
