Linet Masai, the World 10,000m champion, is confident she will retain her title during this year’s competition in Daegu, South Korea.

Masai, 21, emerged from the shadows to win the 2009 event in Berlin, becoming the second Kenyan woman after Sally Barsosio in Athens in 1995 to clinch the world title.

"It will be challenging to win the title but I have trained well and look forward to winning once again," she said.
