“The facilities are top class. Track, weight room, where we do our cool down and everything. The dining is fantastic, the hotel accommodation.”

Okon also said, “The advisory podium team has been very helpful. We’re learning a lot from them and the others are very, very disciplined. They’re very cooperative and we’re doing very well here.”

Although the team faces initial weather challenges, the coach assures the training conditions have improved. “We thank God the weather was a little bit cold today but we now have sun shining so everything’s going fine.”
