Peruth Chemutai will be on track today as she seeks to defend her title in the Women's 3000m Steeplechase in the ongoing Olympics games.

Chemutai won heat one of the races with ease to confirm his slot in the final of the highly anticipated track.

To reach the mark, she was in the lead for the biggest time of the race, and this made her climax easily ahead of a talented pack of quality athletes.

The athlete is poised to leave everything on the track as she attempts to defend the gold medal that she secured in Tokyo three years ago.

Unlike in Tokyo, where she entered the race as a young athlete to look out for, this time around Chemutai is one of the favourites to get to the podium.

Chemutai will face stiff competition from Winfred Yavi (Bahrain) and Beatrice Chepkoech (Kenya). However, she will look back to this year's Diamond League meet in Eugene, where she beat them in the same event.

Having faced setbacks in the previous World Championships, today's race offers her a thrilling and exciting chance to rewrite her name on the back pages and big walls.
