KENYA'S athletics chief has slammed the handing of the women's IAAF Athlete of the Year award to Australia's Sally Pearson at the weekend, saying Vivian Cheruiyot deserved to win.
Cheruiyot triumphed in the 8km race at the World Cross Country Championships as well as the 5,000m and 10,000m at the Daegu athletics world championships as Pearson claimed gold in 100m hurdles. "How can they say Sally beat Vivian by 30 votes in online voting? This is not beauty pageantry where winners are decided by their looks and how they cat walk," Athletics Kenya Chairman Isaiah Kiplagat said. "Vivian won three major world titles this year, which beats Pearson's one title in Daegu. This process must change because it should be based on how one performs on the track."
