Keeping up with the Kenyans
Chinese athletes travel to East Africa for joint training camp
Zhang Xinyan had sound knowledge of Kenya's prowess in global athletics before she visited the East African nation in late April to participate in a month-long training camp on the outskirts of Eldoret, a town known to Kenyans as the "Home of Champions".
The 24-year-old middle-distance runner from Gansu province represented China in the 3000m steeplechase at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
