It may be deep into the European off-season, but this weekend was one of the most important on the African calendar all year as the African Continental Championships took place in Kwale on the eastern coast of Kenya.
It was a display of some of the best young African talent as the likes of Tsige Kahsay Kiros and Tristan Hardy took home wins in the junior categories. There was also a win for Merhawi Kudus, who claimed the men’s elite road race for the first time in his long career, and a couple of surprise winners to give a hint of the talent coming through.
