KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA (https://lifestyleuganda.com/) — Ugandan distance runner Joshua Kiprui Cheptegei has been nominated for the 2021 Male World Athlete of the Year award. He is an Olympic Gold Medalist, World Cross Country Champion, World Record Holder, and World Champion.

  • Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei was nominated for the 2021 World Athlete of the Year award.
  • Nominations for the 2021 Male World Athlete of the Year are listed below.

Cheptegei, 25, will be vying for the prestigious honour for a third time after winning silver in the 10000m event and gold in 5000m at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
