Performance sport at elite level requires being competitive and delivering on the international athletics stage. These Moyo Sports’ highlights from 2017 reflect this rationale. They also reinforce our continued focus of being a management agency at the heart of global athletics representing a select group of world-class track and road athletes.

  1. Timothy Cheruiyot’s (KEN) 1500m silver medal at the World Championships and winning the Diamond League trophy. Ranked 2nd fastest in the world.
