NAIROBI vans old skool white australia , June 22 (Xinhua) -- As far a drawing battle lines go, world champion Asbel Kiprop has sounded the most audible of war cries ahead of his title defence at the Moscow World Championships by declaring his bold intention to attack his 1,500m personal best in Monaco on July 19.
And should he achieve his aim of beating his 3:28.88 career best ran at the same track last year, Kiprop believes he will have delivered the perfect warning to the potential challengers to his crown across the globe.
"I cancelled running in Oslo (June 13) in order to prepare for Monaco. When I'm looking forward to trying and break my personal best. I went there and did 3:28 and it was exciting, I was happy to have run the fastest time since 2004," Kiprop said late on Friday after qualifying for the final of the 800m during the Kenyan Track and Field Championships in Nairobi.
The deposed Olympics champion was categorical that the monumental effort in Monaco that was achieved less than a fortnight ahead of the London competition did not cost him the title.
"It was not a problem during the Olympics vans old skool black australia , the problem was the injury," the titleholder stated alluding to the hamstring strain incurred in his final training session in Nairobi before Kenya departed for the London Games.
"I had to encourage myself and say what if I had fallen in the heats or semi finals? It came as planned, you can never know what will happen on the track," he told of how he lifted himself up after surrendering the Olympic title he won in Beijing after the initial champion, Bahrain's Rashid Ramzy was banned for drug use.
Since he has automatic entry in the Moscow Worlds as a titleholder, Kiprop believes his country stands a better chance to hold on to the title he won in Daegu vans old skool australia , South Korea while the pressure associated with making the Kenyan team has been lifted off his shoulders.
"We still have more than a month to prepare. It will be easy for us in the men 1,500m in Moscow and whether I will be a repeat world champion, I want it to come as a surprise.
"Right now, I cannot say I want to be this or that, I will prepare well and run my best," the champion explained.
He is confident that his shape is coming about nicely after spending most of the latter end of last season recovering from the injury that saw him scoop the wooden spoon in London puma suede heart satin australia , a shocking outcome for a titleholder.
"In Doha, the first one, I was comfortable, I went to Shanghai and managed to win but in Eugene, I was a little bit tired and Silas (Kiplagat) managed to win," he summed his Diamond League campaign.
The league campaign has seen him collect victories in Doha (3:31.13May 10) puma basket heart patent australia , Shanghai (3:32.39May18) in his speciality before he was beaten by compatriot and Commonwealth champion, Silas Kiplagat over the Mile at the Pre Fontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon where he clocked 3:49.53 for second.
Kiprop explained his preference for Monaco where he achieved his dream to run under 3:30 for the first time in he clocked his 1:43.15 lifetime best in 800m in 2011.
"It is the best track; I feel most comfortable running there. When you compare all 1500m guys, Silas Kiplagat, Nixon Chepseba, the American guys and Olympic champion puma basket heart australia , Makhloufi all carried their personal bests in Monaco."
Kiprop was in imperious form during the domestic championships where he booked his ticket for the men 800m by winning his semi-final in 1:48.1.
"I hope Athletics Kenya will give me permission to run in Monaco since I have cancelled races in Paris and Oslo to concentrate on this one," he concluded referring to the Kenyan sports governing body tough stance against competing outside once the team for Moscow is selected.
SUVA, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- About 8,000 people have been placed in the evacuation centers on Ambae, an island of Vanuatu after the island's Lombenben volcano erupted over the past days, and the evacuees are now short of food fenty puma slippers australia , water and other basic supplies.
According to the website of Vanuatu's Daily Post on Wednesday, 35 evacuation centers have been set up in the west and east of the island, but they are overcrowded and more evacuees are still arriving.
Most of the island's population has been relocated as the volcano at its center continues to erupt, covering the island in ash.
A government spokesperson said on Wednesday that international aid agencies were helping, and the Council of Ministers would consider asking other countries for support if the eruption worsens - which was hard to predict.
The volcano that towers 1,500 meters above Ambae has been rumbling for weeks puma creepers velvet australia , but on Saturday, it suddenly started belching ash and flashes of lava in the middle of the night.
The volcano is reportedly still going to erupt, and it has been destructive as trees and crops are dying. Over the past few days, authorities have been evacuating people in the north and south of the island to the east and west using whatever resources they had.
Ships hopped along the coast, while fully packed trucks made their way across the island's narrow, winding and bumpy tracks. Others walked as far as 20 km through swirling ash to safety.
