G4S 4teen’s World Junior 3000m silver medalist, Pauline Korikwiang
from Kenya returned home from the All African Junior Championships with her victorious team to a rapturous
applause in August. Competing for her country in the 5000m at the prestigious championships Pauline put in an impressive performance where the young distance runner finished third winning a bronze medal and helping Kenya raise their medal tally and finish overall as the winning country.
Despite a muscle strain, Pauline was delighted with her result - having led the race throughout, towards the end Pauline suddenly developed a stiff muscle and had to tackle the remainder of the race with a muscle strain.
With this impressive success behind her, Pauline’s will now be working towards the Africa Championships in Addis Abba in May 08, World Junior Championships in Poland and the Olympics in Beijing but before this she is busy preparing for her elementary examinations in November 07.
