Three-time Olympic hammer throw champion Anita Włodarczyk of Poland is the latest entry for next month’s Kip Keino Classic Continental Tour Gold meeting at the Moi International Sports Center, Kasarani in Nairobi.

Włodarczyk, the only woman to win three consecutive Olympic titles, will be making her maiden appearance at the Kip Keino Classic due on May 7 and now in its third edition.

 The 36-year-old holds the women’s world record in the event, a feat she achieved at Rio 2016 when she threw a monstrous 82.98m.

Nowicki will be making a return to Kenya after competing in last year’s event where he was ranked second with a throw of 77.99m.
