Kiplangat said he feels prepared both physically and mentally for the task ahead. “As a defending champion, I’m very ready to go and participate. Since I have been training well, the body is now okay and with God I serve, everything is possible. I’m going to defend my title,” he told reporters.

The 25-year-old will anchor a Ugandan squad that heads to Japan with history already made.

For the first time, the team features more female athletes than men, a shift that signals the growing depth of women’s athletics in the country.

Officials believe the milestone highlights both balance and the promise of a new generation ready to compete at the highest level.

Uganda will look to Kiplangat’s leadership on the roads and the energy of its women’s contingent on the track to make a statement in Tokyo.
