Berlin is my city. I love Berlin and enjoy running here. When I came to Berlin I felt so confident. I smile now because the tiredness is out of me at this moment. For World championships this is a good time. The race was very nice for me, very challenging, with a strong field of athletes. The spectators - especially those around the Brandenburg gate - were doing a great job. They gave me a lot of energy. They were really pushing me. When I was crossing the finish line, I did not believe what was happening to me. And so many people were screaming for me! So many emotions! It was very tactical race and it was quite hard for me to stay calm and control the race. My coach is a great man - we were praying together in the morning and already at that time I was sure we can win this race. I feel I am in a great shape and we were preparing for this during our trainings.
I'm very happy to win the silver medal on the first time I'm representing Kenya. It's a big achievement. The race was not easy. We agreed to work as a team and did all we could to push the pace and get the title.
The race was very fast from the beginning. I wanted to control it, but they went too fast. I also had some problems with my legs. But I am very happy to finish third.
