Kinyamal said: “I participated in high jump while in secondary school. After school, I stayed at home for some time before my friend Leshan Togom advised me to take up athletics. I heeded the advise.
“I started training in early 2016 and that I made the team to Africa Junior Championships where I won bronze medal. That motivated me to go Keringet Athletics Training Camp in Nakuru County. I later relocated to Global Sports Communications camp in Kaptagat,” he said.
